Wireless: The Next Quarter Century
Edited by Arik Hesseldahl, 06.06.02, 12:00 PM ET

NEW YORK - You may not have noticed it, but the handheld cellular telephone has been around for nearly 30 years, while commercial cellular services have been around for about 25 years. These facts are likely to inspire a twinge of nostalgia among those who can remember lugging around the brick with an antenna that the first portable phones seemed to be. But it's also an opportunity to ask where wireless technologies are headed over the next quarter century. So we asked five people, ranging from Martin Cooper, the inventor of the handheld cellular phone, to legendary science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke. And while their ideas were all over the map, all agreed on one thing: You ain't seen nothing yet.
