Mobile phone inventor criticizes people's smartphone addiction

  • 31/03/2023

The American engineer Martin Cooper, who invented the mobile phone fifty years ago, admits that these devices that he invented are now posing a problem, which is that people spend a lot of time using them.

He said that the potential of mobile phones is unlimited, and can one day help in eradicating diseases, but he believes that people may have become somewhat addicted to them. "It shocks me to see people crossing the street and looking at their mobile phones. They have lost their minds," the 94-year-old inventor told AFP in his office in Del Mar, California.
