The father of the cellphone

- Опубліковано 21 сер 2021
- In the 1970s Marty Cooper, a former Navy submarine officer, engineer and executive at Motorola, maker of two-way radios, fought against archrival AT&T by proposing a network of transmitters that made possible the explosion in cellphones. Correspondent David Pogue talks with the visionary Cooper, now 92, about the world's first public cellphone call, on April 3, 1973, and about his unbridled optimism for the future.

And I'm watching his story on my cell phone. What a life!
🖒🖒🖒
I am taking a selfie of myself with my phone watching myself watch the video on my phone, while in a phonebooth.
❤️
wow your living the dream
@Ro Ro
I think some have already done that, too, so there you have it.
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 owe this man so much in life:*
- Staying connected with our family and friends
- Keeping up with the latest news/weather reports
- A dictionary/encyclopedia at our finger tips
- Paying for goods and services
- Listening to music
- Taking reasonable-quality photos and videos
- Sharing pictures and stories via social media
- Browsing the internet
- Navigating to specific locations
- Working outside the office
- Internet banking
And road rage (my first cell phone experience).
All that stuff is because of Apple. Apple came out with the touch screen phone and apps.
I love how optimistic Marty is. There's no reason things shouldn't keep improving!
He looks and sounds great for 92!
Ultimate Flex, calling your industry rival on the cellphone you invented.
The ultimate troll!!
That was awesome!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought ROSAT!!!
@Jeb Garcia ...a master move!
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.
Actually he and his team invented Cellphone. He was CEO.
He was so well hidden like a precious Gem all this time. Mad Respect 🙏
It's called Wikipedia
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!!
92 years old. What a charming person!!!
His wife was allocated one word during the report. And her delivery and tone spoke volumes.
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.
This guy is so charming, you can tell how much he loves his wife.
and how much are all women the same.
@@filda2005 😂 that generalisation actually says more about you than women, thanks for the laugh! 👍
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
Massive shade calling his rival 🤣🤣🤣
That's more than shade.
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.
“I liked it so much I bought the company!” Was that the one??
@@lewstone5430 In 1979, a man named Victor Kiam liked his Remington shaver so much, he bought the company. ua-cam.com/video/qf22bddvLnc/v-deo.html
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 !
5:30 - 5:40
I'm a CS student and I know programmers never stop learning. Keep at it. Mr. Cooper.
Now that is how you grow old; fitness buff, happily married and constantly seeking to learn and grow.
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.
Unfortunately people nowadays are if the instant, I want it right now, selfie society.
Sam Sung, I bought your TV. You’re welcome.
Man this guys attitude is amazing!! Thank you for the gift 🙏🙏🙏
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.
Also a nod to Henry T. Sampson who created the patent technology that went into creating the cell phone
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.
Time is never wasted.
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.
Not just time-wasting, but we've seen how destructive these new technologies can be to foment "alternative realities."
Thanks Motorola and Dr. Cooper for your awesome products.
A Motorola user since '06!
Aww what an adorable MAN 😀 He's super fit and healthy for his age! Good for him 👏
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.
ATTN CBS Sunday Morning: PLEASE enable captions in your UA-cam channel. I know you can do this. Please do so for hearing impaired!
92 YEARS OLD!!! HE LOOKING REAL GOOD!!!
I think he was right on to something that indeed cell phones can move people out of poverty and educate!
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.
My 1st Car was a Pinto .. Love that they used it in this video.. LOL!!!
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!
Excellent interview 👏👏😍❤️
This story is so interesting!
Optimist! That’s great. The secret to a long life!?
It’s refreshing to hear someone speak so positive and optimistic!
Real genius don’t fuzz about it …and never brag about it,idiots do… What a wonderful men !
Thank you Sir! Shared.
David Pogue never fails us, always great reports!
We owe you everything sir. Thank you. ❤
Amazing!!! Thank you
Good interview. What a nice guy!
That was inspiring!
Thanks for your invention! This is why let ppl put ideas together
Looks great for 92
Damn he looks great for 92.
Keep Moving Forward.
Thank you Martin! 🙏
Very informative video. Awesome guy that had helped our technology along way.
Brilliant man, lovely couple.
I love his outlook on life! I love his philosophy about constantly learning. That's how life should be.
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.
I remember seeing these phones on Miami Vice when I was 8 or 9.
God bless him...Great story!
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.
This man is so chill-lax.
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.
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
Wow! what an inspiring man
I like this guy. I genuinely like this guy.
Good for him. And great for us.
Thank you.
The wisdom and positive attitude of this man is what I aim to achieve in life.
Ask Richard Dreyfuss to play you, Mr. Cooper.
What brilliantly splendid man
Impressive!
God bless this man
Omg I want to meet this guy
92??? Working out??? You are my hero
I love the cellphone story thank you Mr. Cooper and your wife too.😁
Wow, hes 92! Look at what cellphones do mom!
Aye cell phones definitely make our lives a life these days and no one can deny that
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
And now cellphones are small again!
92 and still going! Wow!!
This reminds me of the question what came first the chicken or the egg
Wow such a great person
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
Wow he looks good for 92!
How many people were like-
CBS: Marty invented the cell phone
Thinking: thats Cool
CBS: Marty is 92 years old
Thinking: WHAAAAAT? Unbelievable
His wife is so beautiful, what a lovely couple and a cool guy 👍🏼
Alright,Marty-don’t hurt 😔 nobody doing all that exercise!😝😆 No wonder he looks so good!🙏👍😘
The best at the time was Motorola.. what a great story .. great guy at this age 92??! Whoaaaa awesome
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 wonder what is the history of AT&T not continuing being a Monopoly for cell phone business. Now I know a part of that history.
Awesome if you don't keep learning you loose you ability absolutely RIGHT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I remember having a toy version of one of those phones.
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.
So you're using a real computer to make this comment.
@@RaymondHng I'm late to the internet too. Didn't buy my 1st computer until sometime in 2009.
@@195511SM At least you're not like some people I know who have managed to lock themselves out of their own microwave oven.
IM 50 AND USE A FLIP PHONE USED TO HAVE TRACPHONE TOO
Watching this on my Motorola.
We just might all be better off without that particular invention.
Yeah, things were much simpler when we had phones with wires.
I've only ever used Motorola phones...they have my loyalty..
You just declared loyalty for a mega corporation and they don't know or care if you exist. The matrix has you.
@@pixelroutine4609
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
MOTOROLA WAS THE BEST BUILD RADIO AND PHONE
NEW ONES TODAY ARE JUNK
Me after seeing poor connection earlier :
Hey Verizon, sorry 😐
I'm going to get the book.
Late 80's- early 90's dope dealer phones...
Watching this on my Razr 2020
America innovation at the best. Keep the spirit of innovation to drive forward humanity.
Steve Jobs got all the credits !
No really. Jobs was just a business man. Wozniak was the genius.
I’m watching his story on the cellphone on my cellphone
or head-on collisions, if it wasn't for the cellphone.
_People are richer today, they are healthier today... Well, at least in my neighborhood and social circles._
“Fortunately”? The world was a pretty good place before cell phones became the center of human life.
I agree with this one :)
It changed the world for the worse, in my opinion.
@@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.
Just to think today you can watch a football game live on your phone.
Spotted Clu!
Ah "the Brick"
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.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_T_Sampson
he did not invent the cordless telephone, he invented a radio application that became a telephone
