“I have a belief that the cell phone has just started its process of evolution and we’re going to be very surprised at what happens in the future,” said Cooper, who is based in Del Mar and recognized as the “Father of the Cell Phone.”
Cooper released a book, “Cutting the Cord,” about the obstacles he and a team at Motorola had to overcome before he finally made the first-ever mobile phone call in New York City in the early 1970s. Cooper also explores the potential for how cell phones can continue to pave the way for innovations in areas such as education and health care, particularly in developing countries.
