    Why Was Mobile Phone Invented

    In the early 1970s, the United States was in the middle of a major oil crisis. Gas prices were on the rise and people were starting to switch to more fuel-efficient vehicles. One man who was looking for a way to keep in touch with his friends was Motorola’s founder, Robert Cooper. Cooper wanted people to have freedom to talk on the phone away from their cars. So in reaction, he and Motorola embarked on a project to create a more portable device.

    Motorola spent three months building a prototype for a portable, mobile handset that Cooper publicly demonstrated in April of 1973. The prototype, known as the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, was a bulky, clunky device that weighed about 2.2 pounds. But Cooper was confident that the technology behind the phone was sound, and he was right.

    The mobile phone revolutionized communication, and it quickly became the standard way to talk on the phone. Today, mobile phones are ubiquitous, and they are used not only for talking, but for texting, surfing the internet, and playing games. Mobile phone technology has also improved over the years, and phones now offer features such as high-quality cameras and durable batteries.
