Which of the following is NOT a British invention?

Correct Answer: The mobile phone

Britain has produced many world-changing innovations. The hovercraft was invented by Sir Christopher Cockerell, the Turing machine (the conceptual basis of modern computing) by Alan Turing, and the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

The mobile phone, however, was not a British invention — it was developed by Motorola engineer Martin Cooper in the United States in 1973.
