Lend me the phone

This was the first request that my grandson made me when he came on vacation: my smartphone. By using this, he chatted, watched videos, and played different games... All in one!

• Typewriter - Teletypes.
• Cameras, photo rolls development, video camera.  
• Clock - Stopwatch - Alarm clock.
• Calculator.
• News printed in newspapers and magazines.
• Radio.
• Phonograph / Turntable record player.
• Recorder / Player - Dictaphone 
• Television - Remote control 
• Cinema.
• Mail: Letters / Telegrams / Cables.
• Maps - Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
• Photo albums, storage of discs, tapes, cassettes, etc ...
