Who invented the first mobile phone in the world? What is it like?

The first mobile phone in the world is completely different from today's mobile phone. Nowadays, mobile phones are small and exquisite, which can be easily put into your pocket and you can make calls anywhere in the world. However, in 1902, Nathan Steffield, a farmer in Murray Town, Kentucky, USA, invented a mobile phone as big as a trash can, with an effective communication range of only 800 meters. But this is indeed the first real mobile phone in the world.

At that time, Steerfield built an antenna mast more than 40 meters high in his orchard. Through this antenna mast, one person's voice was transmitted from the telephone to another person who used the magnetic field. Although the line he used was much longer than that used to connect two mobile phones, this mobile phone is obviously movable.

1902 During the New Year, Steerfield showed his invention in Murray Town Square, and five people with receivers heard music and speeches 800 meters away. 1908, Steffield was the first to apply for the patent of "wireless telephone", and he also designed a mobile communication telephone carried by carriages and ships.

The inventor was down and out all his life, fearing that his patent would be stolen.

Unfortunately, the mobile phone invented by Stepfield did not bring him great wealth, and he spent his life in poverty. Stauffey never sold any parts he designed. He is always sneaking around and doesn't allow his family to leave home because he is afraid that his invention will be stolen.

Stauffey has six children and his family has always been poor. As long as they have some money, they will put into the experiment. Eventually his wife left him, too. In the last 10 years of his life, steffe spent it alone. He died on 1928 and was buried in an unmarked cemetery.

In 200 1 year, Bob Locke, a journalism professor, described steffe as the father of modern mobile phones in his book "Kentucky Farmers Invented Wireless Phones". The website of British Virgin Communications Company listed a page to commemorate the 0/00th anniversary of his invention of mobile phones. Richard Richard branson, the boss of Virgin Group, said: "steffe is the father of mobile phones, and this world-changing invention has ushered in the100th anniversary."

Branson also said that steffe was a pioneer without honor. "Although it is difficult to verify whether he invented the world's first mobile phone, he is definitely the first person to apply for a mobile phone patent. Perhaps people at that time did not really realize the great significance of this invention. "
