Who made the first mobile phone?

Many say that the small hand-held thing called the communicator used by the characters of the TV show Star Trek in the nineteen-sixties - is what inspired Martin Cooper to make a mobile phone.

 

But who made the first mobile phone? Who was the first to speak?

The first mobile phone was made in 1983 in New York City, USA - and it was made by engineer Martin Cooper. He is called the father of mobile phones.

Martin Cooper worked for Motorola, a small telecom company at the time. But he had a dream: the day will come when everyone will have their own phone, and they can be contacted at any time.


Martin Cooper told the BBC's Luis Hidalgo that the story would sound like a science fiction to ordinary people.

"Because, for a hundred years before that, the telephone was something that was attached to a desk in our work desk or home. You could say it's like a dog's neck chain. But we thought humans were basically moving and no matter where they were Why - will always be connected to others. So we have to build a device that has never been built before. And that's exactly what we built - in just three months. "

But Martin says that's not the case - the first two-way wrist radios that American comic strip Dick Tracy characters used to communicate with each other came to their minds. Who was the first to speak?
