Telephones in the fifties and now

A TV ad for cellular telephones on Norwegian TV, made as a black and white movie from the 1950's, something like this.

Little girl in classroom reading her essay about telephones in the future.
"They will be so small, you can put them in your pocket."
Classmates laugh at this stupid idea.

Little girl continuing her essay in front of the principal.
"The telephones will have tiny cameras in them."
Principal looks worried.

Little girl continues her essay in front of the family doctor.
"You will be able to watch TV programs on your telephone."
MD looks concerned.

Little girl continues her essay in front of the psychiatrist, with parents in the background.
"There will be some kind of grammophone inside the telephone and you can chose
the music you would like to listen to."
Mother bursts into hysterical tears.

Yes, who could have imagined this when I grew up...
