Marty Cooper is an American engineer and inventor widely recognized for making the first handheld mobile phone call in 1973. He was born on December 26, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Cooper worked at Motorola at the time, and on April 3, 1973, he made a call from a prototype mobile phone to his rival, Joel Engel, who was also working on mobile communications at Bell Labs. The call was made using a device called the Motorola DynaTAC, which is considered one of the earliest mobile phones.
Marty Cooper’s breakthrough in mobile communications played a significant role in the development and proliferation of cellular technology, leading to the creation of the modern mobile phone industry we know today. His pioneering work revolutionized communication and laid the foundation for the wireless revolution that followed. Marty Cooper’s contributions to the field of mobile communications have earned him numerous awards and recognition over the years.
The book “Cutting the Cord” tells the untold story of how the cell phone revolutionized communication and led to the creation of new industries. It revolves around a battle for control over communication, involving government regulators, lobbyists, technology breakthroughs, and a protagonist, Martin Cooper, who played a significant role in the creation of the cell phone. The book describes how Cooper’s early life influenced the cell phone’s development. The narrative unfolds as industry skirmishes escalate into a political war in Washington, with the aim of preventing a monopolistic company from dominating telecommunications.
