Today in Tech – 1973

By Community Team

On this day in 1973 American engineer Martin Cooper made the first cell phone call from a New York City street. Cooper and his team had created the first handheld, personal mobile phone for Motorola a couple of months back, and was presenting it to the media in New York when he decided to give them a real demonstration by making a call. That first call was to Dr. Joel Engel, who was then running a program for their rival company AT&T.
