Unfortunately it is even worse that predicted. Too bad a pocket phone, radio, television (which was unimaginable back then), encyclopedia and on and on could not even be dreamed of back then.

I've had a cell phone for a long time. I usually keep it off. I take calls when I want to, otherwise, voice mail is just fine.

My phone has been on silent for years.

Prophetic

Thank goodness for the "silence" option! I now have to begin my large weddings with "for those of you with mobile devices, please silence them before we begin."

Still, for all the "inconvenient" times a phone might ring, we are lucky in that we don't have to answer it and the caller can leave a message. I'm happy not to be confined to corded receiver attached to a wall phone.

Wow, that is visionary 103 years ago. It never occurred to me even 50 years ago that I would ever have a phone in my pocket, let alone a video phone, camera, photo album, map, encyclopedia, phone books and restaurant menus for every city, etc., all in my pocket. Life is good!

That's actually pretty accurate.
