He should have been stopped.

Don't blame this guy for YOUR issues. If you don't like how much you're staring at your phone, do something about it.

He’s the father of the cell phone but he’s also the father of people no longer looking at each other space and having a decent conversation with each other. He has actually stopped real socialization. Maybe I shouldn’t blame him and blame all of us who have looked at our cell phones as people and people as nothing.

Anyone commenting about the negative impacts of phones need to lock thier phone and look at the screen until they see the hypocrite

I know a lot of the negative mobile phone comments are just kidding. And I don't want to ruin their fun but... the life saving ability of a mobile phone in an emergency situations is huge. Whether a car crash, other accident, getting lost, being in a hostile environment or a woman in a threatening situation a mobile phone saves lives.

I would have thought maybe Star Trek the original series was the inspiration for the cell phone with the hand held communicators they used.

Ambigirl2019, actually, when cell phones first came out, you couldn't play games or go on social media, because there wasn't social media back then. We didn't even have internet until 1986!

pretty sure the communicators on Star Trek would have preceded this.

Lizzi, you are tremendously right! Life seems to be going easier "thanks" to mobile phones, either smart or not as such; that device makes all of us enslaved in a TOTALLY and UTTERLY FALSE FEELING of freedom! The word freedom expressed in small letters is a WANTED pun!!!!

Lizzi, If you do not invent mobile phones Will you travel to your relatives who lived in a far away country from your home (country) just to visit them? They are invented for convenience and also, If you dare say, "he should have been stopped" then time to teleport you to the year 1800s and 1900s,you will see how life is

Lizzi, Cell phones are very useful in an emergency. If you don’t like them don’t use them. You can always use carrier pigeons if cell phones are not to your liking.

Dan, I'm guessing when he envisioned it, he never imagined a touch screen device that could literally let you find the answer to almost every question ever posed and listen to any music ever created, play videos, games and find out the weather. I'm guessing he just wanted to be able to ring his mum when he was out and about haha

Ambigirl2019, don't blame him. The inventor of a device has no control over how people use it.
