1963 cell phone prediction:
In May 2021 an image circulated on social media showing a 1963 newspaper article bearing the headline, "You'll Be Able to Carry Phone In Pocket In Future."

This article was published on April 18, 1963, in the News-Journal, a newspaper out of Mansfield, Ohio. In addition to the photograph above, this article is available via .Newspapers.com.

The article reads:

"Some day, Mainfielders will carry their telephones in their pockets. Don't expect it to be available tomorrow, though. Frederick Huntsman, telephone company commercial manager, says, "This telephone is far in the future - commercially." Right now, it's a laboratory development and it's workable, allowing the carrier to make and answer calls wherever he may be."

The modern mobile phone wouldn't hit the commercial market until the 1980s, but the idea of a pocket phone had been percolating for decades. In 1953, for example, the president of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. predicted that someday in the future the phone will be "carried about by the individual, perhaps as we carry a watch today." In 1926, inventor Nikola Tesla predicted that in the future people across the world would be able to communicate instantly with one another with devices that fit inside a vest pocket.

The idea of video phones (also mentioned in the above-displayed 1963 article) can be traced back much further than you might expect. In 1936, a German engineer developed a video phone service that allowed people to call (and see) each other from Berlin to Leipzig (a distance of approximately 100 miles).

Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost “We survived, but it wiped out the library,” Internet Archive’s founder says.

Male mice produce ultrasonic vocalizations that function as intricate “love songs” to attract females.
These songs, though inaudible to humans, resemble birdsong when slowed down and shifted into lower frequencies.
The males adjust the complexity and volume of their songs depending on context and female proximity.
When a female’s scent or presence is detected but not seen, the songs become louder and more elaborate.
Once the female appears, the male’s songs simplify and soften, signaling a shift from attraction to interaction.

Your Favorite Budget-Friendly Router Might Get Banned in the U.S. TP-Link, which holds a dominant share of the U.S. home-router market, may soon face a total sales ban after a Commerce Department review found its products could pose "unacceptable risk" due to lingering links with China.
