1963 "the future"

I was born in 1963- I can tell you this is true!!!

I graduated from high school in 1963, I don't recall hearing anything about being able to carry a phone in your pocket.

1963 was a good year that's when I was born.

Make that 3 Wisconsin boys born in 63.

The feature in Life mag had it with a camera....and our school teacher said what if you just got out of the shower.

Uncanny!

Amazing

And a PA guy

And one Kraut

March 26 1963 my b day

Yes Good Year! Born Detroit, Michigan - Moved North in 1967

That’ll never happen lol

I guess you didn't subscribe to that Paper or Life magazine

If it wasn't in the sports section it escaped me.

Add Northern Michigan to the 63 gang, I was 3 days old at the date on that page.

Wow I was 2 days old the date of the page

Add one Iowa farm boy

if you think about it 1963 we had smaller and smaller radios the receiver end could fit in your pocket , very shortly you could get a motorola vhf on a belt and radio telephone patch was starting to happen
touch tone technology was also happening.

battery technology is a large part of what made early cell phones so large

the first Cell phone call was made in 1973 by Motorola so not unrealistic to think they were conceptualizing in 63 the brick phone was released in 1983

then it was a matter of building network, opening up frequencies and battery technology to make it so you really could have a motorola flip-ish phone that fit in your pocket in 1989

Dick Tracy had wrist watch radio .

Reading this post makes me feel old! I graduated from High School in 1963.

I was 10 years after.

The planned "visual image telephone " was supposed to be a benefit to "The Housewife" in the kitchen. LOL

In '62, I belonged to a sportsman club and the club had an old guy raising quail and each year each member received 10 quail to turn loose in their area. At that time our telephone coop was formed and was getting right-of-way easements, etc. to lay lines and was replacing the overhead lines for the old wooden crank phones (which we never had). Part of the general conversation the day my dad took me to get my quail was about the new phones. The old man raising the quail said that some day phones would have pictures on them so you could see who you was talking to. He said that would be a good thing because it would cause the old women to put some clothes on before getting on the phone. I've often thought about that prophecy.

That's Too funny!!!

Born 7/30/63

I watched the Jetson’s. It’s all true.
