Physicist Predicted Smartphones 100 Years Ago

The largely under-appreciated genius Nikola Tesla is credited with envisioning smart mobile devices over 100 years around the time he was pioneering his wireless energy transmission methods. The charge mats being sold today employ technology based on Tesla’s work.
More specifically, Porges said that Serbian-born electrical engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla, one of the fathers of modern alternating current (AC) electrical power systems, posited in Popular Mechanics in 1909 that it would in the future be possible to send wireless messages back and forth across the globe. And he envisioned doing so via an easy-to-use handheld device that would be available to the masses.
