Shockingly, Drake was not the first to make that hotline bling.
Back in the '70s, telecommunications were the new frontier for tech companies. This is how one executive made the call that cellphones would change human life forever.
Who is he? Martin Cooper — aka the father of the cellphone, and former head of Motorola's communications systems division — and the first person to ever make a call from a cellphone.
What's the big deal? In some abstract way, we can probably connect that fateful call of yesteryear with our crippling phone addictions of today.

..."Cooper predicts that AI will continue the revolution in how we communicate: "The cellphone is going to become a part of you. Parts of the cellphone will be embedded under your skin. You won't have to charge a cellphone, because your body is a perfect charger. You ingest food, and you turn it into energy."
