***Elsewhere, a story by Morley Safer on Marty Cooper and the cell phone. Cooper (aged 81) signed up on twitter
6 months ago and has 17 followers. Technology has to be invisible, transparent, and simple. The buyers should
dictate what they want. Engineers get enchanted by the technology.

Cooper talked about the jitterbug and the smart antenna. Doctors (at least in newsreels) made house calls, helped by
radiophones in cars.

People are mobile and its personal phones they wanted, describing the "war" between AT&T (Joel Engle) and Motorola.

Your phone, or something like it, will be checking your vital signals, and a computer somewhere else will be checking the data.
The "annual physical" concept will be worthless, compared to measuring data all the time.

Cooper: "Privacy is a thing of the past." Privacy requires a new mindset among people. Safer: Hiding something is an undeniable human right.

Cooper has a Droid.

Cooper: optimum telephone will be embedded behind your ear.
