From the television series Star Trek (1966-1969)
Martin Cooper, a mobile device designer at Motorola in the 1970s, made it quite clear that making a gadget inspired by the TV series Star Trek was more than a mere whim, it was the whole idea. The famous Communicator (why bother with a complicated name?) has since become that device we hold in our hands every day.
