This man doesn't get enough credit and notoriety. He spearheaded a device that eventually changed billions of peoples' lives, whether they realize it or not. The smartphone we know today wouldn't exist if it weren't for these efforts by Martin Cooper and Motorola
This man is one of the greatest inventer off all time. I just knew him today, I mean look what's wrong with people, we giving awards to the wrong peoples. This man deserves award everyday. I salute him the creator of mobile phones.
This was so interesting! I had no idea who this man was and to think he made the object that we devote most of our time to... Wow, much respect to you Martin and thank you Xavier for producing this timeless documentary.
Elites Engineering Yeah well think about that generic idea he is talking about; skin embedded phones & electronics. To what kind of abuse it could lead if we would have those things inside our skins. Spying, radiation from those chips, hacking them and causing possible explosion of the power source and much much more. I don't get why these guys always fantasizes getting things under their skin.
When you think about it, mobile phones are one of mankind's greatest achievements.. To be able to talk to someone on the other side of the earth from the palm of your hand almost seems like magic...

Feckless Rogue Phones are for phonies. As if this guy didn't claim the "inventor of the cell phone" no one else would have. Technically this guys responsible for like 1000 suicides at Foxconn. I am not a troll, I am a fucking HERO.

***** you know what you are missing, humans always since the beginning of time had to spend nearly all of the time chasing food, water, weather, shelter. Point being earning money in a rat race is the modern day equivalent to following a mastodon herd. If we didn't need to earn money then what would your average man be doing with all the free time? Work builds character and it's a way to make your effort stand out from others.
***** so try and help them in their country. America is not the solution to world socioeconomic problems.

I can't disagree with you about money being an evil and corrupting force in society, but I also feel it's necessary .
***** when someone finds the ability to create unlimited nourishment energy and sustenance I promise he will have a lot of money lol. So let me put it as I see it I feel that you are trying to express, if man wasn't worried about mundane daily tasks to accumulate *money*, then we will have time to focus on other things.

Please correct me if my assumptions were off
notice he has a basic soldering iron on his workbench. pretty cool to get to "meet" this guy- I think the greatest thing about the cellphone is the social change being brought about by witnesses being able to record and share incidents of abuse thank you martin cooper
Thanks Marty and thanks Motorola we worked on Motorola products back in the day and we sold cell phones in the early 80s..my father told me the cellphone would change the world and you know what he was right I can't wait to see some of it either
Really enjoyed this interview. What a visionary Martin Cooper turned out to be. I wonder if his thoughts on the future will be more or less accurate. Great video.
Well done sir ❤️ But also giving a shout out to Henry Sampson..because of Sampson’s invention and patent of the gamma-electrical cell, portable cell phones were possible, using radio waves to transmit and receive audio signals. It literally changed the world, and the way in which we communicate in our professional and personal lives. So, when you think of communication technology giants, make sure you also mention Dr. Henry T. Sampson! ..R.I.P ❤️
Henry T Sampson’s co-invention had nothing to do with mobile phone technology. It’s not related. Here’s him saying so in his own words. ua-cam.com/video/PbHy06YvvJc/v-deo.html
I sincerely believe that this man achieved the impossible since not everyone can have so much intelligence to create an artifact to communicate all over the world
Notice how he said 'public' cell phone call... He invented that cell phone but obviously the army/governmenment had them before him. Hence not exactly 'The Inventor' of the concepts or technology, but just part of the desgin team of the first publically avaible cell phone
WRONG. I believe that the government quickly contacted him and told him to shut his mouth until they can get more info from him about how they work and how they can stay ahead. But he is still the original inventor.
Although many people are not aware of it, Henry T. Sampson is an African American inventor, best known for creating the world’s very first cell phone. Information about him on Wikipedia states: “On July 6, 1971, he was awarded a patent, with George H. Miley, for a gamma-electrical cell, a device that produces a high voltage from radiation sources, primarily gamma radiation, with proposed goals of generating auxiliary power from the shielding of a nuclear reactor.” On April 3, 1973, using the patented technology they created, Motorola engineer Marty Cooper placed the first public call from a cell phone, a real handheld portable cell phone. Another first Sampson, a native of Jackson, Mississippi, who received a Bachelor’s degree in science from Purdue University in 1956, also graduated with a MS degree in engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1961. He was also the first African American student to earn a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering in the United States, from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1967. He made cell phones possible Because of Sampson’s invention and patent of the gamma-electrical cell, portable cell phones were possible, using radio waves to transmit and receive audio signals. It literally changed the world, and the way in which we communicate in our professional and personal lives. So, when you think of communication technology giants, make sure you also mention Dr. Henry T. Sampson!
Jesse Eugene Russell (born April 26, 1948) is an American inventor. He was trained as an electrical engineer at Tennessee State University and Stanford University, and worked in the field of wireless communication for over 20 years. He holds patents and continues to invent and innovate in the emerging area of next generation broadband wireless networks, technologies and services, often referred to as 4G. Russell was inducted into the US National Academy of Engineering for his contributions to the field of wireless communication. He pioneered the field of digital cellular communication in the 1980s through the use of high power linear amplification and low bit rate voice encoding technologies and received a patent in 1992 for his work in the area of digital cellular base station design.
False, he even has a interview of him saying his invention of the gamma electric cell has nothing do with the cell phone, UA-cam search ''Henry T Sampson says he didn't invent the cell phone - Interview''
This guy is very correct about the future. If you look at visionaries within each field you see their ultimate idea is usually about right and surprisingly reachable. Nanotech integrated within the body definitely is the future and wearable tech is already here, maybe give it about 5-6 years to become notable, another 4-5 years to become normalized and a standard.
He probably accidentally killed more people than he saved. It isn't the inventors fault for the misuse of the invention. If Einstein had known how his theory of relativity would have been used, he wouldn't have ever invented it. I wonder if he ever gets sad when he sees all the people with their heads down looking at cellphones in every restaurant, store, etc. It can help in the event of a car crash or getting kidnapped, but I lived in a scary world of uncertainty, but I didn't know that when I was growing up.
@@Brickcellent she isn't the only one who has been hit or killed! So who are you to be saying that kind of thing in the first place??? Many people in this world where there are cell phones point, are in danger of a possible killing or injury. So at the same time a cell phone saves millions of lives, it can kill and permanently injure many millions of lives . It's just statistics and the plain out truth!! You can that to the bank!!!!
@@Brickcellent he didn't kill himself duh! It's the people that use this invention with their own free will and don't have a brain to put the phone down while driving, that are the ones to be held responsible. But this inventor didn't know that these things obviously would spiral out of control and cost lives or he would have probably came up with another gadget or thing to help stop people in their tracks who don't think before they begin talking on the phone! Things that make you go hmmmmm! While it may be a creative and impressive invention, its not the safest by far. Pay phones are safer and if they would keep them on every block to every other block, it could help save more lives that way. The point of the matter here is this... Kids, teens, Adults!,.. Please play it safe when walking, don't talk and walk just stop and talk or sit down for a minute to talk. And if you drive, Please refrain from holding your cell device in your hands while driving. No need to talk on a hand held phone while driving in the first place. They did come out with a hands free one, so use that. Also... Lastly Please stop using the phone constantly just to stay entertained. There is a plenty of stuff to do besides playing with a phone or talking all day with a phone. Use it occasionally and mind other people's presence out of respect when thinking of using it. No fowl language and obscene sexual talk. These are literally offensive and morally wrong. That's all I have to say.
Is it me or is the title a little odd? Inventor would make one assume it was the "first ever" so why is that in the title. Why not "Meet The Inventor of the Cell Phone"?
punisher20g58 i will never have any kind of implant. Thats simply absurd and too intrusive to living life. You could never simply refuse to answer it. You would also be tracked constantly.... AKA-- zero privacy.
LOL You wish he was because you're black. LMAO Nice try though. He DIDN'T invent the 1st cell phone, he built a technology for the batteries that go inside of cell phones, but definitely NOT the inventor. I saw a video of him admitting to NOT being the inventor of the cell phone, but instead, the inventor of a type of battery that went inside of it. I saw it coming directly from his mouth, those words.
Actually a black man had the first idea to build the cell phone and he told him and he made it but the African American man told him what to do and what he needed know he's taking all the credit
First phone call was a troll call. Solid.
That's what it says in the first of the suggested videos on the right

Imagine walking down the street and seeing every person have a phone, as you think to yourself "I made that."
Sangat bangga
probably he invented that
Allah
Allah
This was so interesting! I had no idea who this man was and to think he made the object that we devote most of our time to... Wow, much respect to you Martin and thank you Xavier for producing this timeless documentary.
he also invented prank calls
Lukáš Váňa first prank call on a cellphone, nonetheless lol
XerosXIII that
Lukáš Váňa yeah but is your refrigerator running?
All these technologies we take for granted today! Thanks Marty, you are awesome. Love your ideas
The guy just makes genius ideas randomly.
Manuel Lujan who ?
*****

Manuel Lujan What he said about is similar to cookies
***** He probably had those ideas before you were a sperm.
Elites Engineering Yeah well think about that generic idea he is talking about; skin embedded phones & electronics. To what kind of abuse it could lead if we would have those things inside our skins. Spying, radiation from those chips, hacking them and causing possible explosion of the power source and much much more. I don't get why these guys always fantasizes getting things under their skin.

Your documentaries always leave me with a sense of wonder and amazement. Great job, Motherboard team.
Martin your a genius, but I dont want a computer inside of my brain. Im sure Im not the only one.
How on EARTH can people dislike this video? Martin Cooper seems like a wonderful human being and a pleasure to be around lol! CLICK LIKE NOT DISLIKE!
***** you forgot he wants the implanted chip to have artificial intelligence that is smarter then the human its implanted in
***** I'm not criticizing I simply would like to clarify. You want people to live in a bubble that creates all our needs, like the matrix or fallout? Lolz what your religion anyway I'm curious?
***** you know what you are missing, humans always since the beginning of time had to spend nearly all of the time chasing food, water, weather, shelter. Point being earning money in a rat race is the modern day equivalent to following a mastodon herd. If we didn't need to earn money then what would your average man be doing with all the free time? Work builds character and it's a way to make your effort stand out from others.
***** so try and help them in their country. America is not the solution to world socioeconomic problems. With that being said prostitution is the world's oldest profession, it will exist in some form with or without money.
I can't disagree with you about money being an evil and corrupting force in society, but I also feel it's necessary .
***** when someone finds the ability to create unlimited nourishment energy and sustenance I promise he will have a lot of money lol. So let me put it as I see it
I feel that you are trying to express, if man wasn't worried about mundane daily tasks to accumulate *money*, then we will have time to focus on other things. This would in turn excel our race to new heights at a new speed because we would have the time and energy to focus our efforts on new frontiers and achievements.
Now forgive me if I'm wrong in that assumption. If I am correct I feel that the same evil that corrupts our money system would simply evolve into our new world as does in every other aspect of our existence. Many would simply be sloths, many would focus this new time and energy on bad. We wouldn't need parents we could simulate an upbringing. We could all become vegetables living off a machine (like we slowly are becoming with the internet and cellphones). To some this up I loath every year how tech isolates our physical beings more and more, and I would hate to live in a world where we are no longer are living natural but rely on a computer.
Please correct me if my assumptions were off
This is amazing, thanks Motherboard.
I'm so inspired by this interview. Thanks Martin Cooper for bringing us the best modern marvel ever made.
I love this documentary! Thank you so much.
And most of all, thank you Mr. Cooper for your inspiration!
Keep on dreaming.
Infinitely thankful with this guy!. Stay healthy old man we still needing you!.
notice he has a basic soldering iron on his workbench.
pretty cool to get to "meet" this guy- I think the greatest thing about the cellphone is the social change being brought about by witnesses being able to record and share incidents of abuse
thank you martin cooper
Thanks Marty and thanks Motorola we worked on Motorola products back in the day and we sold cell phones in the early 80s..my father told me the cellphone would change the world and you know what he was right I can't wait to see some of it either

Really enjoyed this interview. What a visionary Martin Cooper turned out to be. I wonder if his thoughts on the future will be more or less accurate. Great video.
some one get this mans brain in a pc so he can live forever
Smh just wow, the first cellphone couldn't even send a text message, now I'm watching this from a smartphone, much thank's to you Sir cooper....👍💯%
this was an amazing interview, congratulations vice.

this man's a genius
Image seeing your invention everywhere. You'd be proud for sure.
The whole world. Must know you are one of the great genius the Earth knew. 👏👏

He has very good ideas and worked hard to create a mobile phone
This guy defines what it means to be a true visionary.
Si1983h you right, this guy is definitily a genious
He is a very good scientist and almost at an extreme level he put a lot of work and a creative mind of person.
Thank YOU!
Respect for this Legend!
I like this guys forward thinking, thats what it takes to make something revolutionary, and i agree on his idea for AI
my man changed our entire life and not a sinngle mention in one book or anything anywhere.
Thankx sir for this invention 🙌🙌🙌❤

Ur not the MVP of the year, but the MVP of the century!!!!!!!!!!!
