PeteFijskiRay Bardbury Cell phone/Mobile phone reference
Hello there,
I was told that in one of Ray Bradbury's novels/short stories he mentions the use in a future society of cell phone / mobile phone technology - in particular mentioning how annoying it is on trains. Can anyone confirm this - and which story is it in?
Many thanks
Pete

douglasSPI think what you may have in mind is little devices which Bradbury describes as "sea shells" which people clamp to their ears, shutting out the rest of the world. I don't think they're phones, though, rather more like iPods. And they were mentioned in
Fahrenheit 451 , I think.
