`
`Martin Cooper changed the world when he made the first cell phone call 40 years
`ago.
`
`The former Motorola vice president and division manager made the call on the
`company's DynaTAC phone while standing in front of the New York Hilton on
`Sixth Avenue. His first call: to the head of research at Bell Labs, a company that
`also was attempting to build the first cell phone.
`
`Cooper's call did more than untether people from their fixed phone lines; it opened
`the door to true mobility and continues to affect virtually every aspect of our lives.
`
`Long gone are the clunky phones, such as the DynaTAC, or the large cell phone
`famously used by Zack Morris on the television sitcom "Saved by the Bell." In their
`places are sleek smartphones and tablets with massive brains and access to a
`super-fast wireless connection. People don't just use their mobile devices to make
`phone calls. In fact, they do a lot less of that now. They use their phones to browse
`the Internet, order delivery food, play word games with each other, and keep up
`with the ever-increasing tsunami of e-mails and text messages.
`
`Cooper remains a revered figure in cell phone history. He had another moment to
`shine at Motorola's Razr event last fall. When current Motorola executives

`introduced him, the throngs of jaded bloggers and reporters stopped their typing to
`pay their respects for his accomplishments.

`
`A lot has changed since Cooper worked at Motorola and the company was a world-
`beating giant in the telecom industry. Now, what's left of the Motorola cell phone
`division largely has been swallowed up by Google, which now dominates the
`industry with its Android mobile operating system. What hasn't been gobbled up by
`Google and its partners (primarily Samsung Electronics) is left to Apple, the other
`major player in the field.
`
`As part of the 40th anniversary, Cisco put together an infographic (above) that
`highlights some of the milestones that got us from Cooper's first call to today's
`Google Glass and beyond. In 1992, the first commercial text message is sent
`("LOL"). Two years later, Tetris makes its debut as the first cell phone game. In
`2004, the first Wi-Fi-certified cell phone is introduced and is now a commonplace
`feature as the wireless carriers look to unload as much traffic as possible on Wi-Fi.

`
`The graphic also highlights the introduction of Apple's App Store in 2008, marking
`the first of a new generation of application stores and inspiring legions of
`developers.

`Looking ahead, the advent of cellular technology has enabled wholly new
`connected devices, as evidenced by an image of Google Glass making its way to

`the infographic. The carriers, meanwhile, are looking to connect everything from
`cars to dog collars and medicine pill bottles. Cisco projects by 2017 there will be
`more than 10 billion mobile devices around the world, with video accounting for 66
`percent of all traffic.
`
`But it all goes back to that first phone call.
