@AmericanEvita 1880s? Telephone was invented back then.

@rapper1918 Right. Phones began Alexander Graham Bell, late 19th century/1900′s. Those were home phones… we’re not talking house phones. Those have been around for a longer time than hand-held cellular phones. For cell phones, they’ve been around for about 27-28 years. They’re pretty new if you think about it. The 80′s was NECESSARY to start the success of cell phones which continued in the 90′s and 2000′s and now.

I don’t know what I like more, that huge ass phone or those state of the art 1986 synthesizers.

Isn’t that a bag of smack in the briefcase in the last 5secs of this piece? LOL

LOL great video…back in the day when if you had a cell phone you WERE the shit and it cost you $1,000 for the phone and probably another $10/minute to actually use it.

lol look at the laptop on 0:39 it looks like a briefcase

Thanks for this.

@AmericanEvita The Motorola DynaTac phone originally went on sale after 10 years since its original completion in 1973. The phone had been in development since 1968. Laws simply prevented from being on the market in the 1970s. The 1980s did start the trend, but in terms of creation, not really.

@rainbowloverj Yes, it is. English plates have 7 characters. My father had one of these temporarily in the mid-80s as a junior doctor in Birmingham, W. Midlands. He later got rid of it by 1988 and got a MicroTac in the early 90s.

@67tr876 Unless you were a Motorola employee, you wouldn’t have owned one until late 1983 as the first call was made on a production model on October 13, 1983. It was still in development in 1983.

@Carmaker1 I mean still in development in 1980.

@Carmaker1 i had a freand who did stuff with Mobile Telephones idk it was a long time back and he gave one. idk what brand it was. you do know they had it in 1973.

@Carmaker1 but like you say the first call was made on a production model on October 13, 1983. i had one but did not call no one. i just had it then gave it back like after a week. thats all i know.

@Carmaker1. Thanks for sharing that info. I didn’t know that. I have heard that VCR were also invented in the 70′s but were not commonly used. In the 60′s and 70′s, a computer was the size of an entire room. Internet was around before the 90′s as well, but used in the military for communication. There was no world wide web but the internet itself was there

@Carmaker1 but i had one for a week and am not lieing . 1980 no lie

@67tr876 I hope no offense will be taken. How did you obtain it? Were you in direct contact with manufacturer or a VIP client, because the prototype for this had been around since 1973. That seems really cool if you were. The public version only came out in 1983, so that’s 10 years of existence.

@AmericanEvita Oh your welcome. VCR’s are said to even date back to 1956 as well. I’m trying to remember where I saw that though. Do you notice how mobile phones used to be called “cellular” phones until about 8-9 years ago, when the abbreviated “cell” phone started becoming more commonplace.

@Carmaker1 well i know that my freand had a good freand who worked for Motorola and he told me hey look at this or something and told me its going to be a new thing. he just told me hold on to it for a week and give it back. am not lieing. so what an saying is i got to see it before it came out to the public thats alll am saying.

@67tr876 That’s really amazing then, glad to hear from someone who saw it earlier than the general public. The reason it hadn’t been out in the 70s was because of the lack of a network to support it.

@Carmaker1 ya it is. but like i say i just got to see it no more i did not pay or buy it and its my freands freand you should ask cuz idk how the hell he got it lol .

@GSmokeZ031 already am, Android!

brain tumor!

LOL…0:18 it says Razor Fone on that funny looking object they call a phone in the background. I got my 1st cell phone in 1996 and it was bigger than my current home phone

in 2030 the iphone will be ridicolous for his use ( touch… nothing compared to a mind-controlled phone)
