A cartoon strip by W.K Haselden, first published in the Daily Mirror in March 1919 predicting the invention of the mobile phone… Tweeted here.
This is strangely accurate when you consider the time it was printed, but I do think we have already moved on. We now tend to sit silently staring at our phones in public rather than the noise from them actually being an annoyance. We have progressed to being less social because of them.
I’m surprised that their thoughts were so well thought out. I know that many didn’t want a phone at their homes because they saw it as an annoyance.
