Retro Tech Season 1 Episode 6 DYNATAC 2019

The first ever cellular phone was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x. It cost $10,295 in today’s dollars and had to charge for 10 hours just to make a 30 minute call. Without the DynaTAC, would we all have cellphones today? Marques dives into the history and impact of this piece of iconic tech and explores how its release led to our current cell phone obsessed culture. YouTube creators Austin Evans and Sara Dietschy join him to test out some other pieces of retro tech, like a pager and a lipstick cellphone.
