While speaking with NPR, Cooper offered his predictions for the future of communication amid a field of rapidly-evolving technology.

The cellphone is going to become a part of you.

Parts of the cellphone will be embedded under your skin.

, Martin Cooper, former head of Motorola's communications systems division, via NPR.

You won't have to charge a cellphone, because your body is a perfect charger.

You ingest food, and you turn it into energy.

So there are so many improvements yet to be made in a cellphone.

And I really do believe that we are just at the beginning of the cellphone revolution, Martin Cooper, former head of Motorola's communications systems division, via NPR
