We’re culture junkies here at MuMoH. Not only do we live and breathe mobile and wireless but we also enjoy the history of a wide range of topics, including politics, local and national history, punk and new wave music and general pop culture.
Sometimes these cross paths and make for an interesting mash-up of technology and culture. For instance, we were surfing YouTube for a Flintstone’s clip and came across an entire episode called “Swalkie Talkies.”
Now, if you’re a true pop junkie like us you will realize that this is the later Flintstones from the early 1970s when Pebbles and Bam Bam are teenagers and the show was a bit “groovier” than the original. But no matter – the content is still very relevant to our world.
How? The gist: Bedrock citizens obtain walkie talkies [OK, so they’re not cell phones – this WAS prehistoric times remember] and hilarity ensues.
We love it when we find mobile technology in the least likely places, like an old copy of the Flintstones someone actually videotaped from their TV screen and posted on YouTube.
We’ll be posting more as we find them [here’s a hint: Inch Eye Private Eye and Dick Tracy both utilized mobile technology before there was cell phone usage].
Where are some unusual movies or even cartoons you’ve seen a mobile phone or mobile technology featured? Ping us and we will post.
Enjoy the clip.
