>>18067986I know you are not going to believe me, but my father invented the "Cell Phone". It was patented 1971, the year of my birth, and was US Military use design, and was the size of an industrial refrigerator. It did voice calls, text-data, crude GPS, basic mapping, and low-res electro-photos.
My father was 180 IQ, super-genius for engineering/design/build, but insane/stupid in everything else. Hard man to deal with, possibly Asperger Syndrome (severe)
The one thing we could bond over was Space Program & Sci-Fi. He naively believed that when future people improved his work, that everyone was going to become the best versions of themselves and life would be like Star Trek - boy was he freaking wrong. this shit brought out the worst in Humanity. My dad helped bring down civilization- and he had the best of intentions.
