TheCoolest2 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 What in the world, a lady in 1928, with a cell phone, what is going on? http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/...-1928?gt1=43001 Who is she talking to, maybe other time travelers, they probably stole doc's flux capacitor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Kocher 1 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 honestly, I think thiss could actually be a time traveler. but maybe it's not a cell phone, I think it could be an advanced walky talky of some sort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iMaster 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 If it's from a Chaplin's movie, then that's impossible. Y'see, Charlie there was a perfectionist, he could make 20 takes of the same scene, where everything had to be perfectly the same as scripted. He would not allow just some person to appear in the shot without backing his or her appearance up, OR Charlie Chaplin knew that those devices would come around in 60 years.

RG 1 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) As several people on Gizmodo pointed out, it could be some sort of hearing aid device. Here's the article: http://tv.gawker.com/5672973/is-there-a-ti...plins-1928-film Edited October 27, 2010 by RG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc-Holliday- 47 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) for a minute lets just say this is real how can she talk on a cell phone without any cell towers or satellites without 80s technology? so i would say this is fake.

RG 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 If we assume it's real, it doesn't mean she has to be from 2010. Maybe in future they use cell phones that don't need cell towers or satellites to connect to each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Black Swordsman 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Even if it was real (which it isn't), in a cell phone limited age, there wouldn't be much conversation to be had on such a phone. And without any signals or service providers (as everyone has pointed out), if she had a time traveling buddy, it would be still be completely useless to try and use them.

Mini-Me 24 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 I have a solution for the "missing cell tower problem", it's called radio. After all there also are/maybe were radios that you use similar to a phone: hold it at your ear to listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Black Swordsman 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Hello yourself, clueless. They wouldn't do much good without service providers. You can't just take two cellphones out in the middle of nowhere (in the past no less) and think they'll talk to each other.

RG 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Unless they had some more advanced devices, as I mentioned before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Black Swordsman 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Which would make you think why they even resemble a cell phone to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RG 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Because people are dumb and not really creative? They'll still be making cell-phone like devices in future, there should be screen somewhere, or if they make it a holographic UI-like... Err.. I say if it's real, she's from 2050 or so.

TheCoolest2 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Why wouldn't they, there from the future I'm sure they have service things on there phones I agree with RG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RG 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Not really. I believe that it is a device of some sort to help hearing, at least Gizmodo's comments suggest so. I am trying to make up ways of it being real, not believing it actually is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
