Newspaper clippings from 18th April 1963 about mobile phones only taken 25 years. In the early 70’s there was an article in the British newspaper stating that they would be televisions like a picture frame to hang on the wall. I remember my dad telling me this when I was 13. And here we are now a common fixture in our homes and public places. As I said before technology is often already invented 20 years or so before it becomes public. Just look back to the early 20th century for examples such as tv before WW2 but it was only local service in a small part of London and then the war stopped the progress until the 1950’s.
As you can see Snopes has covered this, and the German technology as we already know was very advanced during WW2 and that’s why Operation Paperclip was vital to the US for the space program.
