Cell-phone inventor Martin Cooper visualizes a miniaturized cell phone that fits behind his ear, automatically dials out when he thinks about calling someone, and notifies him of incoming calls with a tickle instead of a ring.

Cooper believes the next big advancement in the wireless industry will be ubiquitous, wide-area, high-speed access to the Internet.
