The first car phones descended from pre-war ship to shore phones I think and Bell brought out the first ones right after WW 2. The service was limited at first to the east and mid-West but oddly enough they had two towers out here in the oil patch —— Midland and Odessa. Well, maybe that is not so odd considering the dispersed nature of oil production operations.

We’ve got the technology for something even better. I’m surprised we don’t have wrist phones on the market.

Wow - we’ve “progressed” to the point that we forgot about the walkie-talkies that naturally followed widespread radio use into the public market.

well........ but TV came about much sooner than
i previously thought too. I read an old newspaper online
about an experiment using TV during an Atlantic crossing
of a steamship... i want to say sometime in the 30s.!?

using a modern cell phone back in 1938 Is there no limit to gullibility?
In 1938, there was no packet switching, there were no cell towers, and the device had no antenna.

LOL, my screen name should tell you, I'm always willing to listen to what yer' preaching, but even this one made me stop and ... what? That makes no sense!
The Liberal Arts Grad understanding of science can be summed up withe the phrase "....it's turtles, all the way down."
the infinite regress paradox.
