Video Interview With Martin Cooper - Wireless Pioneer

For all of you interested in the past and future of wireless, here's a link to a video interview with Martin Cooper, who created the first portable wireless phone back in the 1970's at Motorola. Great insights into how everything started and great ideas on what will happen next and what shouldn't. Enough said, if you have 32 minutes to spare, head over and enjoy. And if you have the time later, bookmark this and return later :-)

Great link Martin, thanks for sharing it. I really like the historical aspect of telecommunications. It puts into perspective the enormous advances we have made. Mr Cooper is an inspirational figure.

Check out a similar interview from Vint Cerf, considered by many as the "father of the internet". http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/digitalrevolution/2009/11/rushes-sequences-vint-cerf-int.shtml

Thanks for the video link Martin.

As regards the interview - what a breath of freshair!

A obviously very intelligent man, with a logical approach to topics.

I always love to see people who were "there at the beginning", who are still excited and interested in what is being achieved today.
