Time Traveler?

[44Thrilla]

I think I can read that women's lips, she is saying "KP, draft Durant"

And why would such an advanced civilization need to hold a big old brick up to their ear to communicate? Wouldn't they at the very least have a bluetooth earpiece, if not implants? How can we be sure that the guy ahead of her wasn't the one with the advanced communication device? You can't see it because it is embedded directly into his brain.

Do you remember what we recognize as the first cell phones. They were huge. As I said in another reply, maybe she was talking to someone in the future. Maybe our technology today would make a phone capable of talking across time the size of a building, but their technology got it down to the size of a regular size 2010 cell phone.

I do wonder how long it will be before people alive now have implanted phone devices.

Maybe she is saying, KP draft Oden, he will be hurt for a few years but Durant will have a Theismann injury in year five.

(I almost didn't type that just for the Karma of it, please oh please don't let either of them get hurt that bad)

Is that another Oden is old joke?

Why why why...

Durant will never get hurt now.

I think your point is good, but you have to stop somewhere. Otherwise, she's not human at all, she's an alien from the planet Bozkro and she's sucking nutrients out of the pavement with her gigantic footwear.

"Hey, that looks vaguely like a cell phone but it couldn't be what we think of as a cell phone so it must be some other sort of communication device". Maybe, but if we are suspending all disbelief, it is a futuristic sex toy and she's gettin' it on in public.

and are you saying I shouldn't collect that turd like barfo suggested?

Man, I lost so many points on New Orleans...

By taking it too far you have actually come up with a more realistic explanation. There are all sorts of old inventions that never caught on that people today wouldn't even remember. Could be some ear fuck toy for all we know.

Maybe she was hearing things and had fluid in her ear after a spin on this bad boy.

 

[Natebishop3]

I am not making fun of it, I don't know what it was that she was talking on if anything. Maybe the bitch saw the future in a dream and pretended to talk on a cell phone just so we would discuss the whole thing. Maybe the government had cell phone technology in the 1800's and only the really really really rich people got to use it.

The people here pretending to inject LOGIC into the discussion are completely off base. If we are to assume that the guy in the video is right and she is a time traveler, it would only be logical to assume that she might have a "phone" capable of being used without "cell" towers as we know them.

The woman could be talking to someone in the year 2050 for all we know.

I don't know if time travel will ever be possible, what I do wonder is if someone did invent a time travel machine would they use it to take over the world as I would.

You're one of the only people who isn't making fun of it.

 

[julius]

Hey, I'm not necessarily making fun of it. I just doubt that it took almost 100 years for anyone to notice it, and think that it's a little too convenient

 

[bodyman5001]

That is because if time travel is ever perfected it might be fun to do something like that just to mind fuck the future generations. It could be a guy in drag playing a joke on us. If I invented a time travel machine I would want to meet William Shatner and take him back in time to be an extra on Star Trek. That would really blow the Star Trek geek's minds.

If it weren't for our time period and the prevalence of cell phones it wouldn't stick out as anything other than a crazy old lady talking to her hat.

Well, it's one of the extra features on that disc. It's the opener at Grauman's Chinese Theater, so I can't imagine that film has been watched extensively, and certainly not on a big screen tv or in HD.

Since my time doesn't equal your time (speed and gravity can slow time) if I traveled very fast... I could speed away from Earth and return in what would appear to me as in the future of earth... in which case I would have what would appear on earth as very old technology... not new.

 

[The Professional Fan]

If I traveled to an era that didn't have portable phones, I so wouldn't use one in front of a ton of people in one of America's most populated cities. It's a cool video though. I have no clue what that person is doing.

 

[Paxil]

It is a pretty funny example of looking at something in the past and then trying to explain it from our current perspective... and what is crazy is that if we saw that lady today... we wouldn't even have considered that no it isn't a cell phone in her hand... and our assumptions today would be very incorrect. We gloss over so much information in RL. I came home from beach a few weeks ago... see the paint cans I put in front of the cat door in the garage pushed in... think to myself... damn Racoon coming in garage looking for food again... then go to unlock door into house... but it pushes open... I think... damn I didn't push it all the way shut... then my son says... 'it smells funny in here'... then I noticed items on my computer desk shuffled around... I think damn cats... and it isn't until my wife asked where all her jewelry went that I realized someone broke into the house. I'd make a crappy private detective that is for sure.

I think we just naturally assume that our house is our castle... our safe zone.... and it isn't until that bubble is broken that we come back to reality.

The first thing I would do if I teleported back to 1928 would be to walk around in public yapping on a phone-like device. This would make me not stand out at all.

What a load of shit.
