TheFreaksays...So...who's she talking to on a cell phone in 1928? Were there a lot of cell towers around back then?
Grimmsays...Who is she talking to? Other time travelers of course. Come on man...this is future stuff...in the future you don't need no stinking cell towers...your cell phone IS the cell tower. >> ^TheFreak:

chicchoreasays...IF this IS future stuff, why is he carrying anything? Forget Bluetooth, why is he not jacked in?
It is an interesting segment, however.
Edgeman2112says...Could it be a handheld radio and she be hard of hearing?
Sagemindsays...Good point, a hand-held radio is likely a good assumption but not possible.
Bell Laboratories demonstrated the first transistor on December 23, 1947.

Regency TR-1 — the first transistor radio (circa 1954)

This clip was filmed in 1928! (according to the post.)
So the next thing to ask would be, "Is the footage authentic?"

KnivesOutsays...She's listening to the ocean in a sea-shell, of course.
garmachisays...Time Travel... or... *timeshift ???
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Timeshift) - requested by garmachi.
kymbossays..."Hello? Yes it's... you'll have to speak up, I've got terrible coverage here. Where am I? Oh, I'm in the past. Yeah, reception is just terrible. Honestly, how did people ever get anything do.. Oh she's dropped out again!"
Darkhandsays...Okay guys I'm not investing my chips into this one way or another but I just wanted to say that if we did somehow create time travel in the future, wouldn't it also be conceivable that we somehow figured out a communication device that let you send messages in a similar fashion?
I mean why is it so hard to believe omg TIME TRAVEL we can send people through time! But we can't send a phonecall?
I can call someone in China right now and I don't have to be there.
Anyway that's all I'm saying.
thatavguysays...Don't worry eveyone - it's just the Doctor....
deathcowsays...I thought she was shielding sun from her eyes and the sun angle could agree.
ctrlaltbleachsays...She clearly looks as though shes holding something up to her ear. Why would she need to shield her eyes? The hat seems to be doing that just fine. Whats really strange is how she stops to say something which is all to familiar to us in the present who see people talk on cell phones everyday. But most likely the director stopped her and yelled " Hey lady what the hell are you doing?" then decided to cut the whole scene anyway.
ex-jedisays...Cool. What network is she on?
alizarinsays...This is a set, that's not sunlight but a spotlight. She's covering her eyes and talking to someone off camera. Bad take that was used. That's my occam's razor theory.
xxovercastxxsays...I propose it might be an ear trumpet.
mrsidsays...*dead
