=__ MARTIN COOPER __= =The modern cell phone originated with Martin Cooper. However, in order to completely understand the invention of the cell phone, one has to revisit the year 1947. It was then that the underlying technology that makes cell phones possible was invented. Known as hexagonal cells for mobile phone base stations, cell phones were invented through a joint effort between AT&T and Bell Labs. They were not actually used until the late 1950s.=
