What we did with this mobile telephone was create a revolution. Before the mobile phone existed we were calling a place, now we are calling a person.

We had no idea that in as little as 35 years more than half the people on Earth would have cellular telephones, and they give the phones away to people for nothing.

Whenever you create a universal device that does all things for all people, it does not do any things well.

The best way to get people to think outside the box is not to create the box in the first place.
