Wow-92! Such and impressive and encouraging interview. He’s living proof that it’s so important to keep your mind and your body active with aging. Your never too old to learn new things. Makes for a happy, healthy long life!!
He's truly a visionary and a total sweetheart of a guy. It's odd that most of us have never heard of him, given he created the thing that's such a huge part of our lives today. The way his wife says "no" and his response to it is display of true love. 📱
Marty Cooper is just as significant in the history of civilization as Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, or Henry Ford. They need to start including him in the textbooks of grade school history classes.
Arlene Joy Harris (born June 6, 1948) is an entrepreneur, inventor, investor, and policy advocate in the telecommunications industry. She is the president and co-founder of Dyna LLC, an incubator for start-up and early-stage organizations historically in the wireless technology field. Harris is widely recognized as a pioneer in mobile and wireless enterprise and an innovator of consumer products and services. In May 2007, she became the first female inductee of the Wireless Hall of Fame, and was named to the Consumer Technology Hall of Fame in 2017. Harris started and built several companies. She was a founding member of many early cellular industry organizations and holds several patents in wireless communications. Her companies’ successes included achieving substantial market share for cellular billing systems, developing and implementing the first prepaid cellular service, and creating the first automated wireless management systems. Notably, she led the development and market introduction of the SOS phone, renamed the Jitterbug as part of her GreatCall organization.
How awesome is Marty and I love his wife that they are both in the same industry and I think he is amazing at 92 he is working out and has a wonderful wife and a great fantastic legacy !
Amazing man and he totally stunted on his rival with that phone call *boss mode* and can we talk about how he is more fit than most people I know I’m in my early 20s lol
That is so cool about him being from Motorola. I grew up in that area and had some really smart friends who worked there in the 1970s, but couldn’t talk about anything they were doing.
What a fantastic technology he helped to create. I suspect that many people viewing this interview won't appreciate the way things were before cell phones became commonplace.
we once went to visit my uncle Joe in Duluth, back about 1970. He had a business setting up vehicles with GE commercial band radios. He always had one in his car. We sat in his car and he made a call on the radio and told us to listen. The phone in the house rang and my aunt answered it. All us kids sitting in his thunderbird weren't as impressed as we should have been. Luckily, I can remember all this and have a rich context for the story of this guy. Amazing times to have lived through.
I loved the genuine response from David, when Marty said I want you to play me in the movie. Rarely do you see interviewer & interviewee have a rapport. It would be so beneficial if the Media were to take the time & bring us more stories on these fabulous aging people in our society. No everyone will not be inventors, just curious people that take living healthy seriously. I live in a very well known tourist destination & it’s like living with the cemetery club. They all return to retire. How do they spend their time? Mostly watching t.v. and never engaging in any exercise. I plan to stay active when I retire, I want to be living in the future!
He should have given a shout-out to Hedy Lamarr. And as far as his views on technology improving human existence I think he fails to notice that recent technology can either be used productively or to waste time, and too often it’s used to waste time.
Yes, good call on Hedy Lamarr!! Sadly, cellphones for the good they do, also contribute to some bad. More traffic mishaps I believe, plus governments can track your carcass to the ends of the earth.
That is NOT his fault. People make their own choices. You can choose to use fire for heat and warmth or you can be an arsonist. In either case, it's not the match, it's the user.
Breakthrough like this need to be always remind to current generation. Things today don't come out of the box. It takes time for person to develop technology.
My God I'm feeling old. I had a brick back in the early 90s for a towing business. Then we moved up to the largest technology, the Motorola Startac. Anyone remember those? That was the coolest thing ever. I remember thinking that they will never top that phone. How times change.
@Pixel Routine I'm pretty sure no phone company cares about anybody...they care about your dollars..but Motorola was founded in 1928 and we used their CB radios and 2way radios.. they've always made quality products. I don't have to give them first born or anything...I just like their stuff. But I appreciate your concern 💐 thanks
Bless this man who without him a tool of communication will never happen and revolutionized its innovation from simple invention to advanced electronics we have now... Thank you sir, for thank you very much with my very soul 🙏
Depending on how one interprets it credit or blame as I rely on the galaxy for an wide variety ( business frivolous) I say a job well done and deserved recognition
I've only ever had a landline. Just turned 66, but finally bought a cheap little Tracfone in Oct. of 2020. Still haven't bothered to read the instructions......but it's been on my 'to do' list for nearly 2 years.
When I was a boy in Seattle a hipster guy got on our bus with the first cell phone any of us ever saw. It looked like a dark green box of Velveeta cheese, only it was longer and it had a 10" antennae sticking out of the top. Well, this guy was talking so loud that everyone was looking at him. I thought he was a shameless show-off.
if that's true then life really has taken a turn for the worse. No one thing should make our lives a life - what a horrendous thought and one that easily leads to very bad things. I'm not saying the cell phone is incapable of adding to a life, but to make our lives a life.. scary and sad and sounds exactly like what a heroin or meth addict would say.
@@jnb756 wasn’t speaking on me reality but to everyone that use a phone like you might of writing this comment. But I said to say with all we use them for and can do for us in todays world
Of course the inventor thinks he created the solution to all of mankind's problems. And maybe that was his intention. But people waste so much of their lives seeking pointless distractions. Trash television, horrible music, gossip news, stupid conversations -- all that and more instantly accessible everywhere you go.
@@KB-ke3fi I would normally agree with this but something inside won't let me. I have a feeling it is like any other tool - it's not the cell phone that is the issue - it is the behavior people find themselves allowing that becomes an issue. Cell phones are obviously addictive. Therefor it should be something that we place more emphasis on controlling our use versus letting the media and game creators dictate. I am far past staring at my screen all day long like i was very guilty of in the past. I won't allow twitter, instagram, tik tok, or any other social networking ap on my phone - with one exception. I keep facebook messenger only because it is the easiest way for my parents and I to have a conversation as they are the typical boomers re-living their past through sending stupid memes and "do you remember" things to each other and their old friends and classmates. It only gets used when they contact me or I initiate contact with them. I literally leave my phone in my room no matter where I am in the house and have recently started to go to the store or to get take out without it. It is liberating, but at the same time I can come back and check my ever dwindling supply of notifications for the occasional important thing that doesn't feel so urgent when I come to it instead of it announcing itself to me. Basically my cell phone is becoming my land line as I plan to leave it at home more often then not from now on. It does feel like breaking an addiction - so many times I have reached for it and at first was heartbroken I didn't have it with me . Now it's more like - oh yeah no phone duh... but it doesn't bother me.
@@KB-ke3fi So stop using the internet which you are by making comments on a UA-cam channel on the internet. You can actually avoid it. Apparently you are not trying hard enough.
Began the trend of people acting like public spaces were their personal phonebooths, to today where they're texting zombies. Not exactly Jonas Salk lol
This was such an interesting and inspiring interview, but I'm still not over the fact that he is 92. He looks way younger.
But why this vid don’t have just as much views as the videos we even able to post because of a phone
So we should be humble to us using our phones these days?
Definitely still very fit ...
Yeah younger than Prince Philip
HE works out HARD physically AND mentally. Not lost in grandkids and yard sales.
I love how optimistic Marty is. There's no reason things shouldn't keep improving!

Not just time-wasting, but we've seen how destructive these new technologies can be to foment "alternative realities."
I think he was right on to something that indeed cell phones can move people out of poverty and educate!
David Pogue never fails us, always great reports!
It’s refreshing to hear someone speak so positive and optimistic!

Massive shade calling his rival 🤣🤣🤣
That's more than shade.
Good interview. What a nice guy!
Excellent interview 👏👏😍❤️
Brilliant man, lovely couple.
I was more intrigued by his wisdom and words on how the world is only changing and for the good. Great interview albeit too short.
92??? Working out??? You are my hero
Real genius don’t fuzz about it …and never brag about it,idiots do… What a wonderful men !
Looks great for 92
I love his outlook on life! I love his philosophy about constantly learning. That's how life should be.
The wisdom and positive attitude of this man is what I aim to achieve in life.
Thank you Martin! 🙏
Very informative video. Awesome guy that had helped our technology along way.
I like this guy. I genuinely like this guy.
Good for him. And great for us.
Wow! what an inspiring man
Thank you Sir! Shared.

Yes. But they were about a fourth that size. Our neighbor had a car phone in the early 70s, it was the size of 4 bricks.
YEP I REMEMBER THOSE MY FIRST CELL WAS A MOTOROLA C-139 PHONE
SEEN THEM ON EBAY THAT THING WAS SO STRONG THAT I STAND ON IT WITHOUT BREAKING
Damn he looks great for 92.
What brilliantly splendid man
Optimist! That’s great. The secret to a long life!?

That was inspiring!
Fun fact Henry T. Sampson a Black inventor was responsible for the technology that went into the cell phone that Cooper was a part of developing.

92 and still going! Wow!!

I like him. We need more people like him. Especially in Government all over the world.
I’d think he’d make a great chair to the FCC or something in communications in government but I guess some people are not cut out for politics.
Awesome if you don't keep learning you loose you ability absolutely RIGHT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The interviewer is way too gobsmacked by the limitations of the original technology even though he's clearly old enough to remember these things
He was gobsmacked by the original model of the phone. He clearly remembers how big it ended up being...
I’m watching his story on the cellphone on my cellphone
It’s actually sad how cellphones of another generation are taking over people’s minds as well as time away from family.

We just might all be better off without that particular invention.
Yeah, things were much simpler when we had phones with wires.
