The Cell Phone is Transforming Humanity
Abstract: Most of the people in the world now use cell phones and most of them are benefitting. But the cell phone as we know it today almost didn’t happen. Martin Cooper will talk about the regulatory battle between the largest company in the world and an upstart company that refused to yield to monopoly power. Mr. Cooper will relate how applications in emerging countries are presaging enhancements in cell phone technology that promise to revolutionize education, healthcare, and collaboration. He will offer his prediction of how the cell phone will evolve in the future from a flawed technology to valuable enhancement of human progress.

He is a patentee of the first handheld portable cell phone system and introduce the first cell phone in 1973. He is widely published on subjects related to wireless communication and formulated the Law of Spectrum Capacity, which he readily admits is not a law at all but that is supported by over 120 years of experience.
He is a member of the FCC Technology Advisory Council. He has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Illinois Institute of Technology and is a life member of its Board of Trustees. He has honorary degrees from that university and three others.
Marty is a friend who has, in my opinion, earned the title “The Father of the Cell Phone.
