This is a bit of a different item that I stumbled across, struck us as rather amusing.

Martin Cooper, who many consider to be the inventor of the modern mobile phone, thinks that today’s devices are too complicated. At a conference in Madrid he said the following- “Whenever you create a universal device that does all things for all people, it does not do any things well,” said the 80 year-old, who made the first wireless call from a busy Manhattan street corner on April 3 1973.

“Our future I think is a number of specialist devices that focus on one thing that will improve our lives,” said Mr Cooper, who has previously criticised the iPhone for being overly complicated and hard to use.

“The first cell phone model weighed over one kilo and you could only talk for 20 minutes before the battery ran out, which is just as well because you would not be able to hold it up for much longer,” added the Chicago-born scientist.” More at Telegraph.co.uk.
