The instruction manual for my Motorola phone is bigger and heavier than the phone.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
We did envision that some day the phone would be so small that you could hang it on your ear or even have it embedded under your skin.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
Our dream was that someday nobody would talk on a wired telephone. Everybody would talk on a wireless phone.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
The future of cellular telephony is to make people's lives better - the most important way, in my view, will be the opportunity to revolutionise healthcare.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
I'm at the doctor's office. I'm in the waiting room. And there's this guy on his cell phone, talking really loud. Does he think he owns the place? Apparently. I think this is so offensive. But you have to remember: It doesn't take a cell phone to make people rude. People were rude before there were cell phones.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
I think young people don't appreciate that when you're in your 70s, you'll lose patience for techie stuff and you may decide that you want a simple device.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
Even though you can't get along without your smartphone, there are not many essential services on your smartphone. They're mostly convenience; you could live without it. Essential means you die without it. A gadget that warns you're about to have a heart attack - that's essential. We're about to go into that phase with smartphones.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
It pleases me no end to have had some small impact on people's lives because these phones do make people's lives better. They promote productivity, they make people more comfortable, they make them feel safe and all of those things.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
If you want people to think out of the box, you shouldn't create the box in the first place.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
I have trouble going to sleep at night, because you always get the feeling that there is another thing you could do.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
Engineers and entrepreneurs are fundamentally dissatisfied with the way the world is and want to make it better. There are so many things you could do with technology if you can match it up with real problems.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
There is no reason why T-Mobile can't be successful on its own and the only real reason AT&T would want to own T-Mobile is to increase its exclusivity by owning more spectrum.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
We predicted the concept of a telephone that isn't tied to a wall or a desk. We anticipated that everyone would have a cell phone. We joked that when you're born you would be assigned a cell phone and if you didn't answer you had died.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
What's the biggest function of a cell phone? What does a cell phone do for humanity? It makes people more productive.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
I never really started to carry a cellular phone until it was small enough so I could put it on my belt and not even feel it was there.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
The technology that lets many people use the same radio channel at the same time is called smart antenna technology or adaptive array technology or interference mitigation. This technology uses computer processors to take the signals from multiple antennas at each location and sorts the various signals out so they don't interfere with each other.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
I think that wireless has the opportunity to solve a whole bunch of problems, including I believe world poverty.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
What else is there in life but to accomplish things and to do things? Sure I like to be on a beach on occasion, I like to ski on occasion, but as long as I have the ability to make a contribution, I am going to keep going.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
The first cellular systems didn't become commercially available until 1983. Most of the phones before then were in fact car phones.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
If we don't blow ourselves up, this is going to be a really wonderful world.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
We thought our vision was right, which was that someday everyone would be walking around carrying phones with them.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
My favourite example of good technology is the automobile. I travel all over the world and if I want to drive a car anywhere, I get in and put the key in the ignition, shift out of park and drive. I don't need an instruction manual.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
Once you've lived in Del Mar or the San Diego area, why would you want to live anyplace else? It's the neatest place, whether it's the culture or the small-town atmosphere the whole San Diego area has.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
I think if you have a big enough wallet you can solve anything but the key is to solve it with the least amount of expenditure.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
Good technology is intuitive - the cellphone forces you to become an engineer.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
You should not be a slave to your telephone. The technology is there to serve you, not the other way around.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
What we did with this mobile telephone was create a revolution. Before the mobile phone existed we were calling a place, now we are calling a person.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
We should be focused on how to make people's lives better. That is the purpose of technology.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
People are mobile. They move around, and anytime they want to communicate, if you tie them to the wall or the wires, you're restricting them, you're infringing on their freedom.
Quote by -Martin Cooper
If you asked me what the most important thing in my life is, it's learning.
