August 14, 1982

when the first commercial compact disc was produced

i didn't mean that far back,, meant while they were really popular during the early 90's

oh I remember them before then

^^;

interestingly the laser disc came out in 1978

wasn't that the same year cell phones started being used too?

how do you remember something in the 1982 thats so old

April 3, 1973
The world's first mobile phone call was made on April 3, 1973, when Martin Cooper, a senior engineer at Motorola, called a rival telecommunications company and informed them he was speaking via a mobile phone.Oct 3, 2019

1908 was actually when the first wireless telephone debuted

The World’s First Cell Phone
The world’s first cell phone was launched in 1983. It was the Motorola DynaTAC 800x. It was priced at around $4,000 and lasted for 30 minutes of talk time before dying. It was also about the size of a foot long sub from Subway.

Despite the phone’s large size, it was still considered to be the most portable telephone ever made. For the first time in history, a human being could call someone without the constraints of wires or portable phone holders.

Prior to the release of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x, several major developments had paved the way for the first cell phone.

Radio-based Cell Phones
Later, during the First World War, the German military tested wireless phones on military trains running between Berlin and Zossen. Later, in 1924, wireless phones were tested on trains running between Berlin and Hamburg.

etc. etc.

isn't that ironic

so people could talk while they drive''.. that's illegal now isn't it

unless you using bluetooth car sound then i guess it's okay

Ever try to make a call with those things. Real nightmare

which things?

old people everywhere 😁 what cell phones do you have?

Car Bluetooth. Can never get call to go to correct person no matter how clearly I speak

Really tbh i've never tried , never implemented that in my car

So now when I'm driving I just pass phone to passenger or just wait til I get to place I can call back

so much for ease of use

i wonder if my Huawei will even run Android in the coming months

Harmony OS is set to take over thanks to the US /CHina relations

F China Free hong kong

sounds like a setup to me

china is a dystopia

someone always starting a movement for something

and the sheep fall for it

need to look into who is organizing these events

instead of blindly following

you will find that it goes back to the governments / secret societies themselves

divide and conquer

distraction and fear

there was a promise to let hong kong be autonomous but they still have political influenece with carrie lam as chief

they're playing a cosmic game of chess, while we think there's a seperate B & W component it's all them playing the one same game on either side

the best way to protect is to make positive improvements to your individual self, peacefully not participate / don't spend your money
