chaosmachine Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 hearing aid? edit: busted false edit: but were they battery powered? 1921: Earl C. Hansen invents and patents the first vacuum tube hearing aid. Called the “Vactuphone,” the instrument was battery-powered and employed a single triode. http://beckerexhibits.wustl.edu/did/timeline/index.htm Similar device from 1910: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 LOL, guy's attempted career is over. Even if it were a phone, who would she be ringing? If ever time-travel were to be invented I don't think we'd need handsets anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

encey Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 yeah, i honestly believed she was a time traveler from the future, i was like no way, but it appears she is talking into her hearing device. so anyway, here's a russian beatboxer instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A94EEk2rZpU#t=36 But what, is she talking to herself? A crazy person talking into a battery-powered hearing aid in the '20s? To me that's only slightly less plausible than a time-traveler.

Squee Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I watched the clip earlier today and this has got to be one of the stupidest claims ever. First of all, like Gary C said, who would she be ringing? And no, she doesn't look into the camera at any point of the video. And why would this be a man? What difference would it make? I can definitely see that she's holding on to something which could be a hearing aid device like chaosmachine mentions or maybe she's just holding onto her hat. Also, the moon is hollow.

Guest Backson Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 the other article did the whole "this is totally explainable" thing and then linked images of all different clothing items available at the time. But not very well, so I don't buy it. i am still under the impression this could be real, if for some reason hipster fashion catches on in the scientific community when time travel is available.

I don't get why people tend to go for the more unlikelier explanation in things like this? Is it the same reason people believe in god? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
