QUOTES BY Martin Cooper


Anyone who dials a phone while driving is flirting with death. And anyone who texts while driving is insane.

Wireless is freedom. It's about being unleashed from the telephone cord and having the ability to be virtually anywhere when you want to be.

If you asked me what the most important thing in my life is, it's learning.

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.

We should be focused on how to make people's lives better. That is the purpose of technology.

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.

Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire.

You should not be a slave to your telephone. The technology is there to serve you, not the other way around.

Good technology is intuitive - the cellphone forces you to become an engineer.
