“Technology has to be invisible. Transparent. Just simple.” — Martin Cooper Quote

Technology has to be invisible. Transparent. Just simple.

What else is there in life but to accomplish things and to do things? Sure I like to be on a beach on occasion, I like to ski on occasion, but as long as I have the ability to make a contribution, I am going to keep going.

I never really started to carry a cellular phone until it was small enough so I could put it on my belt and not even feel it was there.

The only thing I don't like is being called the 'grandfather of the cellphone' because that makes me a little older than I prefer to be.

Of course I have an iPhone and I use that, interestingly enough, mostly for my calendar because it synchronizes with my calendar. I take pictures with it and I show people pictures of my grandchildren.

It's harder for me to work on a Forrest Gump kind of movie, where everything is invisible.

If you were to turn on the TV in 1986, '87, you wouldn't see anybody having, I guess, a low-to-middle-income person of color experience. And you definitely wouldn't have a young LGBT person or their story told. The experience of being invisible in our culture has ramifications that I don't think any of us can really understand.

Every great narrative is at least two narratives, if not more - the thing that is on the surface and then the things underneath which are invisible.

There is a kind of invisible thread between the actor and the audience, and when it's there it's stunning, and there is nothing to match that.
