Someone showed me this video today of what people think is a man that got in a 1928 film that had travel from a future which is hundreds of years on yet from 2011. What do you think about it?

Yes I've just noticed that most websites say it's a woman or it might be a man dressed up as a woman.

Maybe it was like a star trek one and didn't need phone masts?

Pretty strange though, eh?

Just checked and seems the walkie talkie wasn't invented until the second world war, but who knows, maybe the idea was floating about decades before the device was created.

Being a film about the future though, then it's not too mysterious to see someone pretending they're using some future tech. Arthur C Clarke is famed for writing about technology that hadn't yet been invented, and so have many others.
