When I was six mobile phones were in their very infancy - nothing more than walkie-talkies really. This piece from the BBC's Tomorrow's World programme in 1979 showing the start of proper mobile telephones was actually filmed in my home town and I went to the polytechnic it was shot in (the Anglia Polytechnic in the middle of Chelmsford... recently demolished though). A guy I worked with a few years ago had been in the team that developed it at Marconi, also in the town.

When I was six, mobil phones were sifi. Oh wait, maybe that was when I was twelve, I couldn't read sifi when I was six!
