I still call one of my kids my little "wiggle worm", from when she hadn't even crawled yet. I'd sing her this old-timey lullaby:

🎵 I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

Before I forget that 🎵

I haven't been able to find this again, but there's a short film that was made in England in 1946 that perfectly nailed how cell phones were going to work. There was even a man in a grocery store calling his wife at home to find out what ingredient he needed to pick up. The only difference was scale: the man was using a walkie-talkie, which despite the movie images of an officer using a device about 1'x4"x4", in fact also required a ginormous and heavy backpack thing lugged around by some misbegotten private.

BTW a fun fact: the word "ginormous" (a portmanteau word combining "gigantic" and "enormous") dates to WWII or earlier. I'd always assumed it was valley-girl speak until I encountered it in a Battle of Britain memoir written by a pilot who was killed in 1942.

I momentarily (mis)read the cartoon's title as something like "When we all have pocket teleporters" and thought the first frame was some kind of use case for a 19th/20th century sci-fi pocket teleporter, where said device was activated allowing the person to run faster while chasing the train.

My eyes followed to the second frame and only then I realized the cartoon was about pocket telephones, not pocket teleporters, beeping while being inside the pocket.

A beeping pocket teleporter would be equally annoying, though: "No, I'm not interested in a monthly subscription fee of 42 bars of gold for faster and farther teleporting needs, shut up with your ads, Thomas Edison's Magic Porter Apparatus"
