Motorola engineer, Martin Cooperhad a historic opportunity in his hand: that of carrying out the first call through a mobile. He used it to tell the competitor’s engineer, Joel Engel, that he had managed to win their technological battle. He did it thanks to DynaTAC 8000X. A model that weighed 800 grams and had just one hour of autonomy.
Since that April 3, 1973, 50 years have passed and we do not surprise anyone if we assure that the way we communicate has changed radically since practically all of us have one of these little devices.
According to Paola Gutiérrez, Director of Marketing and Communication at Motorola, “the technological miracle happened: being able to talk to someone, wherever he was“.
Today, things have changed a lot. We chat, play, pay, flirt, surf, work and, in short, we live glued to the screen… which, by the way, didn’t have that first mobile.
Although if we ask you, you assure us that the least thing you do with your mobile is talk.
In Spain there are 120 lines for every 100 people
We have gone from heavy mobiles, “bricks“with antenna and low battery, to terminals that stretch, bend and try to adapt to us.
A change in the global paradigm of human communication that began with a call to swear at the competition… Who was going to tell Cooper in 1973?
