Martin Cooper, the US engineer who invented the mobile phone, has expressed his devastation when he sees how the device has been used to spread hate and division.
Cooper, who is now 88 years old, is credited with inventing the first mobile phone in 1973. He was working for Motorola at the time and his invention revolutionized the way people communicate.
However, Cooper has expressed his dismay at how the device has been used in recent years. He believes that the mobile phone has been used to spread hate and division, rather than bringing people together.
In an interview with the BBC, Cooper said: “I’m devastated when I see how the mobile phone has been used to spread hate and division. It’s not what I intended when I invented it. I wanted it to be a tool for communication and connection, not a tool for division and hatred.”
Cooper believes that the mobile phone has been used to spread false information and to manipulate people. He believes that this has had a negative impact on society and has caused people to become more divided.
He said: “I think the mobile phone has been used to spread false information and to manipulate people. It’s been used to divide people and to spread hatred. It’s been used to spread lies and to manipulate people’s opinions. This has had a negative impact on society and has caused people to become more divided.”
Cooper believes that the mobile phone can still be used for good, but that it needs to be used responsibly. He believes that people need to be more aware of the power of the device and how it can be used to spread hate and division.
He said: “I still believe that the mobile phone can be used for good, but it needs to be used responsibly. People need to be aware of the power of the device and how it can be used to spread hate and division. We need to be more responsible with how we use it and make sure that it is used for good, not for evil.”
Cooper’s invention has changed the world and has had a huge impact on how people communicate. However, it is clear that he is deeply concerned about how it has been used in recent years and the negative impact it has had on society.
