Inventor of Cell Technology.
The Cell Phone Turned 40 Years-Old Today. Meet The Black Man Dr. Henry T. Sampson Who Created It
If it wasn’t for Dr. Henry T. Sampson we wouldn’t have cell phone technology today. Isn’t it funny how the mainstream media hasn’t made him a icon based off of his invention?
Henry T. Sampson, the Black man who invented the cell phone On July 6th, 1971, Henry T. Sampson invented the “gamma-electric cell”, which pertains to Nuclear Reactor use. According to Dr. Sampson, the Gamma Electric Cell, patented July 6, 1971, Patent No. 3,591,860 produces stable high-voltage output and current to detect radiation in the ground.
Cell Technology? That's not even a real field of science.
Um, whoever wrote that article needs to take a science class. Gamma radiation has nothing at all to do with cellular technology. Did someone see the word "cell" and assume it meant cell phone?
Martin Cooper is actually the person who invented the cell phone. He also is believed to be the first person to make a hand held cellular phone call.
Berhnard Gross has a patent from 1964, #3122640, where he also worked with gamma radiation converting into electrical output so Mr. Sampson is certainly not the first to do that.
He's still a brillant man, but come on...don't lose credibilty by trying to give credit for something not even related to his field of expertise.
