Caught this early at Yahoo news. The inventor of the cell phone was born in 1928. Coincidence? You decide.

Found the originator of this one.

Is that the same guy i got an email from, asking me to drop the "time convulsulator" off at "you know where"?
I have no idea what a "time convulsulator" is.

Spooky huh!

Could it be a walkie talkie? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkie-talkie

Transistors haven't been invented yet O (they only had tubes then; lol) so doubt it. Some feel it actually was a primative type of hearing aid that uses carbon some how and that the lady was talking to her self (hey; old folk sometimes talk to themselves). There are a few other theories floating around too, but my guess is this one. I don't actually believe she was a time traveling man dressed as an old woman (many feel that this person was actually a man; lol). Yes, like all things I do, I tend to over research and analyze the subject. lol

the first walk talkie was built in 1940 and if i remember well portable but meaning that in a military sack were sufficent place for 1 of them, and men used to carry heavy weight could even carry 1 with no much effort

here one of the first "portable" walky talkie



here is evolution a bit more portable but still quite big (and heavy)

PS for some reason the first image , the best one doesn't show up automatically:
right click on "image" and chose "view image" to see

PS O, GnuTux, why to display this image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/e ... Scr300.png was needed to resave on my PC and convert to jpg ?

Now not even the jpg show up let's try again



nothing except then right clicking...what the heck is happening ?
( a cover up plotted by the Illuminates in collaboration with CIA , Massons, the brotherhood of Skulls and Bones and the discendents of Carolings and Merovings dinasties? ... )

I checked it says...the selected image doesn't exist anymore..
Works for me though...

Apparently time travel into the future is possible too (if you believe).

maybe the png but this for sure still exist i just uploaded in gimpchat.

let see if diasappear

Your link didn't have [img] tags around it.

Needs to look like this:






This link you had [img] tags around, when I pasted the path in the address window it said the attachment did not exist any more.

Keeping to the theme, I remember reading about a guy who supposedly came from the future to get a Unix computer because they needed to solve the countdown unix bug for whatever reason. I just ran across this story again and now have a name. Lots of links for John Titor, so do your own research this time. Still don't believe? lol



edit: as a side note, nothing mentioned about the Unix issue with Titor among the videos that I've seen so far; it was another obscure type of PC, but I remembered the story as it related to the Unix countdown bug.

Still think it's a walkie talkie. Wiki says it ran on vacuum tubes and dry cell batteries.

It gets weirder and weirder. There's also the Swedish guy (he actually traveled into the future) and another guy who came from 200 years from now, but couldn't resist making money so he came to near our time, and was able to turn $800 into $350 Million in 2 weeks before the FEDs caught up with him for supposed insider trading. He told the FEDs too that if they would release him, he would give them the cure for AIDs among other things too. So strange (but fun). Man, if I had a time machine, I would go back to 1997 and convince past self not to leave Schlumberger Water. Might have lost on some good paychecks, but I bet I would still be an Enginneer (but you all wouldn't ever have known me either; might have to weigh the good with the bad).

That make more sense since cellular phones need repetitors (or how are called in english ) to work

But walkie talkie do not solve the time paradox :
as i showed the first was from the 40,a more portable but still gigantic model from after the II W.War,and for something that can stay in the palm of a hand i believe would be needed to go till the 1970 if not later

well in any case he should come from the future, or from a parallel dimension



Ok let suppose a genial but ignored , forgotten genius invent in the 20 a walkie talkie (before dye in misery since the sources report 1940 as the date of the first working prototips ) using vacuum tubes and dry battery

Then should be big at least as a very old radio if not as a old TV

##################################################################

only "rational" explication i may image is that was not a cellular phone, not a walkie talkie, not any kind of transmittent

from the cloth in the movie was Winter, apparently a cold winter.
Maybe that man was simply using a rudimental device to warm his ear...maybe just a little container for hot water, or burning coke

weird but you from US really like from always this kind of odd devices( you may found found a lot in old catalogs and in the plubicity of old pulp magazine ...in the 20 and even now, now internet is more used to promote them)

That...or a sort of primitive monoaural earphone for a radio hidden in a big pocket

improbable but maybe less then a time traveller perfectly disguised but for the use of a cellular phone in a very crowded street

Or it could be a time traveler with a Droid making unique appearances at movie openings.

humm maybe just a man too busy to give vocal orders to his computer to notice to be entered in a parallel dimension..very similar for cars cloths and buildings but were the use of micro-steampunk-ultraportable computers was not too usual
