A video allegedly from the 1930s quickly went viral on social media. The video recorded in the USA features people coming out of the factory. However, it was noteworthy that the woman who appeared in a certain part of the video was talking with a device similar to a mobile phone.
Does the first cordless phone date back to 1930?
Cell phones or cordless phones had not yet been invented in the 1930s. However, some images recorded in the USA stirred social media. According to the news in The Sun, there is a woman pretending to be talking on the phone in the footage from 1938. The woman who takes her hand to her ear also uses various facial expressions.
Speaking to The Sun, a person claimed to recognize the woman in the footage taken in the 1930s and claimed to be her great-grandmother using the “experimental wireless phone.” He said this device was developed by an industrial giant in Massachusetts.
“The woman you see is my great-grandmother Gertrude Jones. She was 17 years old. I asked him about this video and he remembers it very clearly. She says Dupont has a telephone communications division at the factory. They were experimenting with cordless phones. Gertrude and five other women were given these cordless phones to test for a week,” she said.
Some conspiracy theorists on social media claimed that the woman was a time traveler. Stating that wireless devices date back to the 1970s, theorists stated that there was no such technology in the 1930s. Still, it’s impossible to know if the woman in the video was talking on the phone.
