"50th Anniversary of the First Cell Phone Call: A Look Back at Mobile Phone History"

On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper made the first cell phone call while walking through Manhattan, revolutionizing the world of telecommunications. Cooper, who is considered the father of the mobile phone, developed his first prototype in just 90 days and made a public demonstration before the press. The first commercial cell phone model didn't go on sale until 1983, but since then, cell phones have evolved at an incredibly fast pace, with smartphones now having much more processing power, RAM, and storage than the average computer from even a few years ago. Cooper believes that smartphones still have to evolve to get to their best version and could eventually become implants in our ears.
