Warning: This is not news. But it is kind of amazing.
Extracted from some incredible time capsule ensconced sometime around 1846 (read: 1990s) and then immediately ripped to digital form in all of its glory, this RadioShack gem has emerged. Imagine a phone you can take with you. Want to talk on your phone while you golf? Sure. While you’re on your boat? No problem. What about while you eat? Oh, hell yeah.
Will we look back at iPhone commercials and chuckle in a mere 18 years?

I used to install those in cars. Gawd, I’m old. And I still hate cell phones.
“With the portable phone, now you can ignore waiters, your golf buddies, even your wife, while talking endlessly about work, like a jackass!”
It’s funny now that cell phones are ubiquitous, there’s a growing awareness of the need to leave them at home more often and disconnect.
