Happy 40th Birthday, Cell Phone
The first cellphone call was made 40 years ago today
On April 3, 1973, from a Manhattan street corner—6th Ave. between 53rd and 54th—Motorola’s Martin Cooper placed the world’s first mobile phone call. To his rival, no less. . . Cooper called Joel En-gel from Bell Systems to tell him that the race to perfect cellular tech was over—Motorola had done it first. Cooper’s exact words on that call weren’t recorded the way Samuel Morse’s first telegraph message was (“what hath god wrought”) or Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call (“Watson, come here. I want to see you”). He reportedly said something like, “I’m ringing you just to see if my call sounds good at your end.”
Happy Anniversary, mobile phones. We’re so grateful to all you’ve done to make our lives more like the Jetsons, sometimes we can’t even bear to put you down
