Boy, the last year has been so mentally exhausting for all of us, right? I mean, stay-at-home

orders mean you can't take any risks or try new things. Monotony is the new normal. Do you have plans?

Nope. We don't have any plans. You wake up, you go to your desk, you work all day. You try to

tech ever. A portable phone you could take with you that was totally unheard of back in the

70s. And that's when Motorola first started working on this tech. Here's a story from Bloomberg.

In the late 1960s, I was at Motorola, but at that time, if you wanted a phone, the only

way to get it was from AT&T in most places, and they wouldn't even sell it to you.

You'd have to rent it from them. And they invented a concept called cellular telephony.

They announced that they were going to set people free.
