Have any of y'all seen this? A cell-phone in 1928? Kind of interesting.

You mean they had cell towers back then? ;)

I guess that was pre-Bluetooth...

Why is this on every forum I frequent?

because logical thinking is dead in our world.

BTW they did have cell phones back then. It was called Markoni Wireless transmittrers

I say it was Hal-thing having a midlife crisis, wandering thru Hollywood.

I'd say he was in his mid 60's then.

::Rant:: That's a woman.


Actually it is a woman using a photophone invinted in the 1880's by Bell. By 1928, they were much smaller than the original prototype that was patented.
