Actually cellular phones started in 1984 or, at least, that's when I first saw one. It belonged to the big boss where I worked and was about the size of a brick. His assistant explained it to me pointing out that it only worked on the freeway to Washington and scattered places throughout the city. These will never catch on I thought. Guess I had that wrong.
I recall attending a futurist meeting where I worked back in the 70s where one of the people asked the committee if there would ever be something like the two way wrist radio ala Dick Tracey. The committee lead said there would be and, if you called someone and they didn't answer that meant they were dead! I think he got that one wrong.
