It’s a conch shell. He’s listening to the ocean.

It’s absolutely real .
I was talking to him .
The conversation went : “Yes buy Apple stock in 1977. What is it? Well it’s a company that will invent computers that anyone can afford . People will get very rich. No, trading cattle futures are what some crooked politicians in Arkansas will do in the 1970’s. And the crooks really didn’t trade cattle futures anyway, it was just a way to funnel bribe money to them. So stay away from cattle futures.
Stick the idea we discussed to buy Apple stock. This guy named Steve Jobs and his buddy Woz will invent the company in a garage in California. “

This is so stupid. Everybody knows that by the time we invented time travel we’ll use implanted telepathy technology to communicate.

Obliviously, when you open the gate to send through the traveler you also send through the satellite that links the call back through the gate to CIA headquarters.

Pfft. Pretty easy stuff really. Do I have to do all the thinking around here?

The second link in post 49 is more rectangular, and both shows that there were contemporary items that were cell phone shaped.

I guess this is making the rounds again

[I want the USA back]

Sure. The mother ship was transported back in time too - that’s where the cell tower is so that this cell phone would work, along with a few other people so that this guy would have someone to talk to.

There is no time travel, now or ever.

“With no cell towers around an iPhone would be pretty useless. Except for scratching.”

He was talking to the Black Knight satellite.

[Fresh Wind]

You are correct. Tape recorders came along in the late 40s, in pocket form in the late 1950s. Google “minifon”. You could get a neat wristwatch microphone for spy work, and a body harness to conceal the recorder under your clothing. The original Minifon was a wire recorder, later a tape recorder.

+1.

Well, his time machine may come with it's own cell mini-tower.
He is checking the stock market for the next few days.

[Valpal1]

The way his fingers are set makes me think it’s a pipe and he’s scratching his ear ore behind his ear with the stem. Pipe smokers always use it as an extension of their hand.

[muir_redwoods]

No satellites in orbit then, no cell towers so service would be more than a bit spotty.

Who? The Doctor of course.
