The First Time Ever

CNN.com: "On this day in 1973 -- on April 3 of that year -- a man did something no one had ever done before.

You may bless him for it or curse him for it. At this juncture, it hardly matters. The impact of what he did is so enormous that judging it now is almost beside the point.

The man's name was Martin Cooper. He was 44 at the time.

He made a cell phone call."

No doubt loudly in a movie theater.

Well then, now we know who to thank.

And forget movie theaters, I've been in department store restrooms and could hear women in the stalls next to mine chattering mindlessly away on their cell phone. Eeeeuuuww!
