    Amused by the first thing he imagined was what the Young’uns these days call “Netflix and Chill”.

    One wonders about the instructional contents of the “old educational picture.” Perhaps this was a compilation of funny cat videos?

    I say, Dr. Boli, don’t you think this rather far-fetched, even for such a forward thinking publication as your incredubiblelationous magazine?

    I am skeptical that even our greatest minds could invent something as advanced as a *wired* telephone.

    Why, the wires used today for charging phones barely last the year! The technology of cross-country telephone wiring is clearly centuries away, awaiting the discoveries of some future Tesla or Maxwell!

    Sincerely yours,

    His resplendent eminence,
