In the 1930s, a comic strip garnered a lot of attention and fame. Dick Tracy, a fictional wise-talking detective created by Chester Gould, was known for his clever nicknames, wit and his fancy gadgets.
One of these gadgets was his two-way communicator watch. With his radio communicator disguised as a watch, Tracy was able to talk to other people on the case without raising suspicion.
After a decade or two, the watch changed from a radio communicator to a TV. The watch communicator fired children's imagination everywhere and many other pop culture trends were created because of it.
Who knew that forty or fifty years later we'd have cell phones, iPhones and camera phones that do the same work as the watch communicator? Granted, they're not disguised as watches, but they can be pretty inconspicuous. They look less suspicious than whispering into your watch I suppose.
However the least suspicious looking device the ear plug to me becomes the most suspicious when in use! Doesn't it give you creeps seeing someone walking and talking to themselves? Well, maybe you are used to it, it still catches me off guard more times than not!
Until Next Time,
