n50 years ago today, the cellphone as we know it was bornnnnnWhether you love or hate everyone’s present-day addiction to their phones, you can thank a man named Martin Cooper. 50 years ago, on April 3, 1973, he made the first-ever cellphone call.nnCooper was an engineer for Motorola at the time, and as he stood on 6th Avenue in New York City, holding a phone the size of a brick to his ear, he knew exactly the first person to call: his rival, Joel Engel, head of the AT&T-owned company Bell Labs.nn“I’m calling you on a cell phone, but a real cell phone, a personal, handheld, portable cell phone,” Cooper reportedly told Engel. nnCooper said that, prior to that first cellphone call, Motorola had been competing against Bell Labs for months to be the first company to create the cellphone. nn“You could tell I was not averse to rubbing his nose in this thing. He was polite to me,” Cooper, now 94, told CNN while recounting the experience. “To this day, Joel does not remember that phone call, and I guess I don’t blame him.”nnWhile cell phones didn’t become widely available until approx 10 years later due to issues with government regulation and costs of manufacturing, Cooper’s first cellphone call forever changed communication and technology. He has since been dubbed “The Father of the Cell Phone.”nnWhether you love or hate everyone’s present-day addiction to their phones, you can thank a man named Martin Cooper. 50 years ago, on April 3, 1973, he made the first-ever cellphone call.nnCooper was an engineer for Motorola at the time, and as he stood on 6th Avenue in New York City, holding a phone the size of a brick to his ear, he knew exactly the first person to call: his rival, Joel Engel, head of the AT&T-owned company Bell Labs.nn“I’m calling you on a cell phone, but a real cell phone, a personal, handheld, portable cell phone,” Cooper reportedly told Engel. nnCooper said that, prior to that first cellphone call, Motorola had been competing against Bell Labs for months to be the first company to create the cellphone. nn“You could tell I was not averse to rubbing his nose in this thing.
