REVOLUTIONARY OBJECTS: THE SURPRISING ORIGIN OF THE CELL PHONE The technology has its roots in 1950s Soviet Russia. "There is no better symbol of late-20th-century capitalism than the stock trader with the bulky cell phone, his time so valuable that he has to walk around with a big old antennaed brick to his ear. How strange, then, that this technology has its roots in 1950s Soviet Russia. Detailed Soviet records are hard to find, but archival material from Soviet media and industry reports suggests that the cell phone was largely a communist invention."
