[RingSight91]

Observe time mark 00:30, is it just me or do seeing one of two guys in hard hats with a brick phone to his ear and a large piece of paper in front of them remind you of a FAC Team in 'Nam calling in some arty and napalm on Charlie in a hot grid?

[SHNUCAU]

All the things that this commercial said cell phones would be as common as in the near future (checking the time on an electronic watch, using a calculator, and programming on an electronic computer) are possible on today's cellular phones.

[lkrnpk]

@SHNUCAU yeah, except I'm not checking time on my electronic watch (I don't have a watch, for that use cellphone), using a calculator (cellphone) and I don't programm shit...

[aa1to]

At least they had electronic computers.

[lucius1976]

Well, but back then you did not need guns or knives - you just needed to throw your cell phone :-)

[BeraKottur]

Those things colud kill someone...

[Bloodgod40]

It's funny how they predicted people using cellphones in their cars but didn't predict that it would make people bad drivers and become illegal in many places.

[MrGeller10]

Хе , первый мобильный телефон)

[DamnStraightM35A2]

My '95 Mercedes has a phone just like the one shown in the Mercedes in this video.

[CJ03041997]

This Phone owns iphone xD LOL

[typeanoise]

Thanks a lot Motorola! Now I have the pleasure of driving and getting cut off by a 16 year old girl texting to her best friend that she has crabs. Thanks a lot.

[rossini138]

Apparently at that stage it was already so commonplace, no one noticed they were on the phone and continued chatting

[XNet]

Did you notice that while people are talking on their phones there's their companions talking to them at the same time?

[JMMoosey]

I can't even get on Facebook or text with these old brick phones.  How lame?

[fishingboy11]

how come the cars dont have a phone in them... I want A car that comes with one that is in your car...

[dieselducy]

WOW.  only 30 oz. that is almost 2 pounds!!

[UTubeAngelique]

I think my baby weighed less than 30 oz when he was born! LMAO!

[saintsaens21]

It's interesting that it should have taken quite some time for the use of mobiles to become widespread

[juanchi1983]

ohh god they should have a very strong arm to hang that thing by a long time

[lokitosouthside]

this is the future of phones:D

[chazrc23]

Well... they were right!

[JacktheSmack]

After this i watched the first iphone ad.

[SmellsLikeNirvanna]

0:06-0:09 hahaha talking while driving. Its illegal these days.

[SirMaximus21]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna its not illegal if you got the earphones and mic :)

[goytabr]

@SirMaximus21, depending on the jurisdiction, it may be illegal to talk and drive even with hands-free speakerphones. Whether a traffic cop will notice you are talking on the phone with special accessories that don't make it as obvious as having a hand on an ear, it's a different story, but if caught you can be fined or worse all the same in such jurisdictions. In fact, the mere presence of such talking accessories in the car may be grounds for a fine or even vehicle apprehension.

[thaichubby101]

next 10-15 yrs, you son or grandchild will ask you "what's the Iphone?" and they will laught to you when they see you still use BB

[jessexbraughton]

eh-lectronic

[rivercityrandom]

They were right about cell phones becoming as common as watches, calculators and computers... especially prescient since smartphones seem to be taking over the jobs of all three of those devices nowadays.

[kadmany]

proves the human stupidity ..

[NextMilionare]

god is mazing what a cellphone can do!!!!

[acslater017]

Oh great. Talking while driving, while you're having a dinner date, while you're out having fun...how prescient. They forgot talking in the movie theater.

[EuroCDN1]

@acslater017 Good old days when people werent treated like retards that cannot do this and that. Times where freedom seemed more of a realistic idea.

[panjok2]

@EuroCDN1 ya ....when we were free! Or was it that we hadn't yet learned what we know now because of communication through phones,computers and such! Back then we did not have the internet and things like twitter to get the real message out that we were actually slaves! I think we were just not aware yet! what do you think?

[w3e4f]

@acslater017 At this time, cell phones were new and widely unknown. The places in the spot were chosen such, to show that you can make a phone call even in the places where it was most unexpected. From this point of view, a movie theater or a burial would have been even better; I guess the producer rejected this kind of suggestions, seeking the non-impolite.

[caboose41]

ONLY 30 ounces? LOL 

[BasementBeginnings]

@caboose41 In the 1980s, people probably jizzed when they've heard "only 30 ounces".

[GoodJobGuy]

@caboose41 when we have a cell phone that weighs like 6 oz we think it is heavy.

[rogerpenna]

@GoodJobGuy

when I have a cell phone that weighs 6 oz, I have no idea if its heavy or light. Use metrics damnit! You are in the 21st century, not in the 80s!

[SirAbdulle]

@caboose41 and now we don't expect the Iphone to be an inch thick.

The wonders of technology. Mazing.

[NELLOARA]

the best thank you!!!

[shaddyhacker]

thanks for uploading this man memories xD

[Ulansananelan]

hahahahahahahaha xD
