Mobile phones are considered an important human invention as they have been one of the most widely used technology.

Dr. Martin Cooper, an engineer at Motorola, is credited with inventing the mobile phone.

On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper made the first public mobile phone call from a handheld device.

The first call was made to Dr. Joel S. Engel, Cooper’s rival at Bell Labs.

The battery of the first mobile phone lasted only about 20 minutes of talk time.

Martin Cooper’s invention revolutionised communication, leading to the development of modern smartphones.
