Just out of interest and amusement

Though a couple of these might brighten your day, the telephone snippet is pretty well spot on.

The "future telephone" clipping, I thought, was maybe a little too accurate, possibly fake. I did a little google search and it is absolutely legit. First published in the Boston Globe 10 April 1953. Interestingly Mr. Sullivan lived long enough to see mobile phones. His last words were "I told you so", probably.
