“A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket.”

In the first part of this episode, we describe this predication made by Nikola Tesla about the cell phone.

But could Tesla also have predicted that these pocket phones would come to take place of watches, of letters, of maps, and of computers as a whole?

This is Was Is Could Be and this is the 2nd part of our series on phone communications in America - this time focusing on the cell phones.

In 1926, Nikola Tesla - the famed inventor - sat down with John B. Kennedy of Collier’s Magazine for an interview.

In it, he predicts that people will be able to carry phones in there pocket, and will be able to see and hear one another as if we were right next to one another.

But could he have predicted the way that mobility has changed the way we live? And if he did, would he have approved?

In this 2-part series, I talked to a telephone expert and a good friend to ask the question: Has mobility improved or hindered the way we communicate today?
