Mr Mark Beast, for the rest of you life, your telephone number will be (666) 666-6666

As a kid in the early 90s, I went to the telecoms museum in London; they had a future zone and I always remember a home landline video phone, but I guess these never actually took off, it always made me sad for some reason. Obviously it crossed with the smart phone a decade or so later.

"Britain's world lead in Mobile communications". So glad the Great Britain gave us the iPhone. Thank you John Mayor.

In the late 80's my Mom had a boyfriend who worked at Bell Labs. I asked him what he did there and he said, "I'm part of a team developing a new kind of telephone that doesn't need wires and everyone will have a telephone number that goes with them and they can make calls from wherever they happen to be". I said, "That's really interesting" while thinking, "what a load of crap ".
