This 80s Mobile Ad Predicts The Mobile Revolution

Look at these old mobile phones. You could probably shove 10 iPhones inside each of these puppies. That Motorola handset weighs only 30 ounces. Amazing!

Those were the days. When every minute cost more than items on the value menu and there was a good chance you could knock a man out with your phone. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to using my electronic computer. [Motorola via BuzzFeed]

    And if it wasn’t for motorola, no such thing as an iphone would have ever come into existence. Important to remember that- those were the guys who REALLY changed the game and started the revolution.
