Nikola Tesla's incredible smartphone

The work of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest scientists of all time, the father of studies on electromagnetism and “the imagination of electricity”, is considered pioneering in many ways.

NJ Um... REALIZED ANDER

But the unfortunate inventor of Serbo-Croat origin, many times deprived of his scientific merits, may have predicted something close to us.

In an interview given in 1926, American journalist John B. Kennedy, he referred to a device that looks impressively like the current smartphone. Here is a portion from TIME magazine:

“When wireless phone is perfectly applied, the whole Earth will become a big brain, as it is, and all things will be part of a real new and which pulses. We'll be able to communicate immediately, no matter the distance.

Not only this, but through television and phone we'll be able to see and hear, just like we're face-to-face, though thousands of miles away. And the tools that will allow us to do this will be very simple, compared to the phone we're using right now. A man will be able to keep in his jacket pocket”.

These words, read today, seem not only to predict the arrival of smartphones, but also the Internet, Skype, FaceTime and all the technologies with which we can eliminate distances.

ACTS

In the same interview, Tesla also speaks of the future of female gender, in words of an extreme forecast:

This battle for gender equality will lead to a new order, where the woman will be superior. Women will first demonstrate their equality and then their superiority, not in their husband's superficial physical imitation, but in the wake of female intellect”.

Words that once again demonstrate the visionary spirit of the famous inventor, quoted as inspiration by some of today's business owners like Elon Musk (who also borrowed his name for his automotive company) or Google co-founder Larry Page. /The world.al
