This image, taken at the premiere of a Charlie Chaplin film in 1928, may be recognizable to you. The zebra is the only item that’s out of place, yet the lady strolling by is distracted by her phone. This photograph from the premiere of a Charlie Chaplin movie in 1928 is likely familiar to many. The zebra stands out as the only oddity, while the woman walking by appears enraptured by the device in her hand. It may not be a cellphone at all, but that is what it seems to be from our perspective.
Using a device resembling a cell phone in 1928, when the technology was still in its infancy, makes little sense. We can’t be sure if it is a phone or not, but it appears to be from our point of view.
