Father of Cell Phones Worried His Kids Are Becoming Too Much To Handle

In an interview with CNN , Martin Cooper , the man who invented the cellular telephone phone for Motorola in 1973 , read he bed one day the devices would be ubiquitous . But today ’s smartphones are more complicated than he ever imagined possible .

babble to CNN , Cooper says “ we knew that someday everybody would have a [ cell ] speech sound , but it was hard to imagine that that would happen in my life . ” But it did happen in his life-time , and now there are nearly five billion cell phones on the planet .

As the cell speech sound industry has grown , however , the devices themselves have turn along with it — they’ve steadily added more features and become more complicated as a result . And in Cooper ’s opinion , they can often be too complicated :

I must tell you as much as we were dreamers , we never imagined that all these thing could be combined into one , and I ’m really not so sure that it ’s a great thing . Phones have gotten so complicated , so hard to use , that you marvel if this is designed for real people or for engineers .

I think what ’s really going to happen is we ’re going to have a lot of different kinds of phones when our industry grows up — some that are just bare , simple telephones . In fact , my wife and I started a troupe , and she contrive the Jitterbug , which is just a uncomplicated telephony .

Of course , that does n’t mean Cooper does n’t stay up to date with the later and greatest of the equipment he pioneered — he had an iPhone , but gave it to his grandson , and now apply a Motorola Droid . And in case you were wondering how he feels on that matter : “ I reckon that the Android speech sound are catching up now , the late rendering of the Android earphone are every bit as just , if not upright , than the iPhone . ” [ CNN ]
