Do martin cooper have any famous speeches quotes or poems?
Yes he does. There are two of them. One of them is, "Whenever you create a universal device that does all things for all people, it does not do any things well." Another one was, "People want to talk to other people- not a house, or an office, or a car. Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire. It is that freedom we sought to vividly demonstrate in 1973."
Why is Homer well known?
Homer was famous because his two poems The Odyssey and Iliad were the most influential poems in the world and the two oldest surviving pieces of Greek literature. Most literary scholars agree that he was the main influence of the modern western canon, and everything written after his poems were published were based on or influenced by him.Not only that, his poems and his writing style was so great that the Romans sought to make their own epics. Even Alexander the Great walked around with a copy of the Iliad because it was packed full of useful advice, e.g. the best way to bake bread (yes, really - how to bake bread!) and how to fix a chariot wheel (whaat? yeah what!).
