** Pocket-size phone? They may build one, but who would want it?
*** I disagree. In fact, every ''city'' may one day have one of these pocket-sized phones.
**** Perhaps in the United States, but in England, we will have no use for these, as we have an ample supply of able messenger boys.
** Amusingly enough, this was during a period of time when everybody thought videophones would be a future part of daily life. While the technology is certainly there, they seemed to forget that people are vain, and might not want anybody to see them at certain times they would normally be talking on the phone. In addition there's always this slightly odd result of the other person not looking you in the eye - because it's still impossible to put the camera in the same location as the screen.
*** Nowadays webcams and such ''are'' pretty much a part of daily life.
*** Videophones appear to be only popular in Japan and South Korea, the only two countries in the world where the video call function of a cellphone is heavily used.
**** The two countries in the world with sufficiently superb data transmission infrastructure to support regular videophone use.
