3rd April by date, 40 years back something happened. Discovery of First Mobile Phone.
As a result of it, people are not so far even they are hailing from other continents.
They can talk whenever they want, whatever they want, more interestingly wherever they belong from.
Who is the Inventor of Mobile Phone?
It is the same day, 40 years back when Martin Cooper made the first mobile telephone call.
Which company invented the first mobile phone?
He was an engineer and executive in Motorola company. He played a crucial role to make the first handheld subscriber mobile phone.
The article is all about the characteristics of the first mobile phone and the first call made by him.
At the reporting, he made the first call and said
“I’m ringing you just to see if my call sounds good at your end.”
We simplified these word by just saying “Hello”. The sound of Martin Cooper’s call still ringing in this world.
Specification of The First Mobile Phone
Here are is the list of the characteristics of the first mobile phone made by company Motorola.
| Company | Motorola |
|---|---|
| Weight | 1.1 kg (2.5 lbs) |
| Length | 22.86 cm (9 in) |
| Depth | 12.7 cm (5 in) |
| Width | 4.44 cm (1.75 in) |
| Talk time on per hour charging | 3 min per hour |
Looking at these specifications of the first mobile phone, today, you can not imagine, it was too bulky. Still, it is called as a handheld mobile device.
Later Scientist came with lots of (silly) doubt in the mind, like…
- I have a newborn baby, who has weighed the same as a mobile phone. I can not take him in couch then How can I bear 1 kg of the mobile phone in my pocket?
- My jeans pocket is not a sack to take such a lengthy and wide phone in my pocket…
- I am not working in the electricity department, then how can I squander whole day in charging?
These silly doubts let them innovate new mobile phone…
- to which my newborn baby can pick,
- which can be accommodated in my pocket and
- need just a couple of hour charging to talk and walk a number of days (even you can charge your mobile just by sending one SMS)
Many companies have been coming forward to mobile development and innovation but we can not forget the way Martin Cooper has shown us.
Today we became so smart using our smartphone. This innovation is game-changing.
PCskull solutes Martin Cooper and his team, not because of… he made the flexible, reliable device… but for a thing that he made the first time in the world.
