Interview with the Grandfather of the Cell Phone Marty Cooper

The inventor of the cell phone Marty Cooper was recently interviewed in this article of CBS News in which he shared some insights on what he thinks of modern day cellphones. Cooper mentioned in the interview that "Technology has to be invisible. Transparent. Just simple. A modern cell phone in general has an instruction book that's bigger and heavier than the cell phone. That's not right."

He thinks that consumers should dictate exactly what they want from a product and not the engineer because in the end the consumer is king. It'll be interesting to see what will come of wireless communication in the future.
