It’s 50 years to the day since American engineer Marty Cooper stepped out onto New York City’s Sixth Avenue to make the first-ever cell phone call.

A personal, handheld, portable cell phone.’ Silence at the other end of the line.”
Cooper told the BBC recently that Bell had been pouring its efforts into developing a car-based phone instead. “Could you believe that?” the engineer said. “We’d been trapped in our homes and offices by this copper wire for over 100 years, and now they were going to trap us in our cars.”
