I wish I could find this again, but there’s a Pathe newsreel from 1946 or thereabouts that shows the coming wonders of mobile phones. It even has a man at the grocery store calling his wife to ask what brand of beans she wants. Of course the “phone” was basically a walkie-talkie with a huge backpack, but they had the principle exactly right.
Fun fact: Mobile phones existed in 1948.

You almost sent me on another wiki-surfing journey. Nice try, ADHD!
The first phone thing weighed 80 lbs. Lol
