On March 5, 1919, cartoonist W.K. Haselden published a comic in the British newspaper The Mirror, illustrating what the world would be like if telephones were portable.

They didn’t realize that new generation would never straight up answer a call anyway
Pretty accurate I would say. They just missed the constantly staring at it as well.
This is a pocket telephone, not a pocket computer, which is what we actually have now.
These problems were why the vibration feature was introduced.
I remember being a tween watching Regis & Kathy Lee at my Grandma’s and they were talking about a “vibrating cell phone,” and Regis was all like, “now what could you possibly need it to vibrate for?? 😳”
I’m in this comment and I don’t know why
I feel personally attacked 😭
Who tf names their baby Mite, is it short for Mitael?
Mite is slang for something very small. It’s the name of a very very tiny insect. So it is probably being used here as a term of endearment.
It’s a bit of English slang that fell out of use decades back. It’s an endearing way if refering to a small child. It fits perfectly with the age of the comic.
I wonder if my friends would appreciate me calling their kids mites? I’m gonna test it out.
I bet your friends will think it’s the bees knees. 23 skidoo!
Sometimes they just absolutely nailed it.
