It may be hard to remember this in 2013, but when the cellphone was first introduced, it was a little bit like Google Glass -- a cutting-edge device that let you do amazing things but also immediately branded you as a goofball to the vast throngs of the uninitiated. In the '80s, cellphones weren't small devices. They were ginormous.

That's why it's so fun to take a trip back to the early '80s, when the world's marketers started advertising the early cellphones. They were undeterred by the goofiness.
