The inventor of the mobile phone, Marty Cooper, predicted that phones would one day become devices embedded in our bodies, rather than the black rectangular slabs we are used to.

Cooper, who is credited with inventing the first mobile phone in 1973, told CNBC in an interview on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, ​​​​"In the next generation, the phone will be embedded under the skin of the ears of users." ".

Cooper added that such devices would not need to be charged, "because your body is the perfect charger; when you eat food, your body creates energy...you eat food, your body creates energy, and it takes very little energy to get this earphone to work."

Today's smartphone has become too complex with so many apps and a screen that doesn't fit the curves of the human face, Cooper said.

The "CNBC" report said that Cooper presents his future vision of a possible stage for humanity in which our bodies are equipped with microchips and powerful sensors.

What confirms this vision is the work of many startups to develop technologies that seek to combine computers and the human brain, such as the "Neuralink" company, which was founded by South African businessman Elon Musk.

The smartphone market has stagnated over the past few years and there is a feeling among industry watchers that manufacturers are struggling to come up with innovative new designs.

Today's proliferation of phones has led to a litany of problems, from social media addiction to privacy violations. "Privacy is a very serious problem, and addiction is also a problem," Cooper said.

However, the inventor of the mobile phone still looks to the future with optimism, indicating that the best eras of technology have not yet arrived, especially in areas such as education and health care, according to the report.

"I have a firm belief in humanity," Cooper said. "I look back at history and look at all the advances we've made thanks to technology. People are better off now, they're living longer. They're richer, and they're healthier than they've been before. We have challenges. But in a way In general, humanity is advancing."

Cooper Kahn received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Mobile World Congress this week to celebrate the 50th anniversary of making the first phone call with the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, when he made a short call with his main rival Joel S. Engel of AT&T.

Cooper says in the report that he never imagined that phones would become laptops like they are today. The idea that your phone will one day become a camera and an encyclopedia never occurred to us."

But, he added, "we knew connection was important. We joked that one day, when a baby comes along, they'll be assigned a phone number. And if one day he doesn't answer the phone, that means he's dead. So we knew that one day he would be." Everyone has a cell phone, and it almost happened."

According to Cooper, there are now more mobile phone subscriptions in the world than there are people, while two-thirds of the world's population owns personal mobile phones.
