There are seven billion people on the planet, and nearly five billion cell phones - meaning most of the Earth's population is connected for sound, for picture, and for heaven only knows what else.
The cell phone has brought us a world without end of talking, twittering, texting, even of sexting. If you don't know what that is, ask any high school kid.
And, in my opinion has created the most rude, inconsiderate and thoughtless society.
It is all a result of Marty Cooper's big idea. He built the first one 37 years ago. It ushered in a technological and social revolution.
He made the first public cell phone call on the sidewalks of New York, in 1973.
