In a 1926 interview for Collier's Magazine, Tesla spoke very clearly about the power of wireless technology in relation to communication across the globe from a device that could fit in our "vest pockets:"

Here is the incredible text from the interview:

"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket.

We shall be able to witness and hear events--the inauguration of a President, the playing of a world series game, the havoc of an earthquake or the terror of a battle--just as though we were present.

When the wireless transmission of power is made commercial, transport and transmission will be revolutionized. Already motion pictures have been transmitted by wireless over a short distance. Later the distance will be illimitable, and by later I mean only a few years hence. Pictures are transmitted over wires--they were telegraphed successfully through the point system thirty years ago. When wireless transmission of power becomes general, these methods will be as crude as is the steam locomotive compared with the electric train."

Tesla was one of the brightest men around. he came up with alt. current and so many more things. At one time I had almost all of his books and papers. I let Neil Angus , now deceased , have my books as he was trying to perfect a magnetic motor . He was doing very well until the end snuck up on him. He developed the " pedfly" gyro. Completely controlled by foot. Take off to landing !Dr. Bensen was intrigued with this and spent several hours looking and taking photos Bensen days several years ago.
