Bechtel, Stephen, National Medal of Technology, 1991
Cell phone
"Rather than do a lot of deep thinking, I would like to give you a few instinctive reactions: An artifact: a cell phone. It represents one of the great technical developments of this century and certainly is in the forefront of public use and convenience as we head into the new century. A Hope for the Future: That the people in the United States will learn to live and work together in a more open, respectful, and constructive manner."
