When you look or use your smartphone, do you ever wondered when was the first cell phone created or who invented the cell phone? Its crazy just to think how the technology has changed most, if not, everything that we use today. The inventor of the first cell phone is Martin Cooper, also the first to make a mobile phone call. Martin Cooper was born in December 26, 1928 in Chicago, Illinois. Today he lives with 86 years of age. Martin Cooper states about his childhood:

“I'd been taking things apart and inventing things since I was a little kid …. I still have memories as a child trying to really understand how things work.” (Encyclopedia.com)

He graduated in the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1950 and from there “enlisted” on the U.S.

Remember that in 1973, there weren’t cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter – probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life.”

As a child, Martin Cooper always invented things and with his skills from his childhood, later ended up inventing the cellphone which had become very big today. Before he created the cellphone, when he worked on Motorola, he was assigned “to the division” that was working on the first portable handheld police radio, which were introduced in the Chicago Police department in 1967 (Encyclopedia.com)(Wikipedia.com).
