Martin Cooper, one of the creators of the mobile phone, Prince of Asturias Award 2009 at the Technical and Scientific Research said Thursday that mobile telephony is still new, "a baby".
"Martin Cooper, the" father "of the cell
Cooper recalled that 36 years ago, when the future of communication is directed to vehicles, and when he thought no company would have the financial capacity to carry out this project, his company began operating what is now known as the first mobile phone.
At a conference in Madrid, organized by the Telefonica Foundation, Cooper said this device, which weighed about a kilogram in 1973 and cost about $ 4,000, a dream came true, because it allowed communication between people without thereby limiting their mobility or freedom.
Since then, and once opened competition in the sector, mobile telephony was advanced to be able to provide channels of audio, text, internet, radio, and even be used by over half the world's population.
However, despite these advances, the "father" of the mobile phone today said that this technology is still very new and has huge development potential.
One of his guidelines, he said, will use mobile devices in the health field, allowing early detection of heart attacks, heart rate monitor, weight or body temperature.
But surely, he said, the future of mobile technology through its integration with the Internet, which will enhance productivity, reduce the cost of the networks will give the product more secure and "revolutionize" social interaction, which "will change even more life to the citizens. "
New technologies have changed, "said-user applications and thus is reversing the trend of those who prefer to have a landline phone to a wireless network.
Also, mobile phones in the not too distant future may carry out demographic, traffic, or even determine the patterns of public behavior, something that governments will generate some uncertainty given the lack of privacy that entails.

Flixster Movie Site this week launched a new version of its application for the iPhone "Movies", showing how technology and the Internet are leading Hollywood directly to the public and avoiding the traditional ways of disseminating information, such as newspapers.

"Nothing is more challenging for an advertiser," he said.
Flixster, the social network that is behind the free application "Movies", said he has seen a 83 percent increase in the number of users in the last six months, and recently passed the 6 million number.
The application is linked to Flixster website, which says to reach 20 percent of iPhone owners in the U.S. with "Movies".
"People say that word of mouth is the most crucial for a movie, and much of it is now done online through sites like ours," said Joe Greenstein, founder and CEO of Flixster
