In late 1963, the bell system introduced touch tone dialing. At the time of this, I was eight.
We lived in Indianapolis by time I was about nine or ten, and we had touch tone service at our home. Even at a young age I was interested in technology and its inner mechanisms. Just like all other tech, I thought this new technology was fascinating, and that it was way better than rotary dialing. A few months after we had the new service installed in our home, I had a dream. In this dream I had a phone that was very small and could fit in the palm of my hand, it had no cord or head set, It had a touch to key pad on it just like our house phone. Just as well in the dream, I could see towers that this phone communicated with to make calls.
Now the first call made from a cell wasn't until early 1973, a full 8 or 9 years or so after my dream. Was this just a dream of fantasy? Or was is a precognition? I say you decide for yourselves.
