Mark R. Sullivan Quotes

“Just what form the future telephone will take, or course, pure speculation. Here is my prophecy: In its final development, the telephone will be carried about by the individual, perhaps as we carry a watch today. It probably will require no dial or equivalent, and I think the users will be able to see each other, if they want, as they talk. Who knows but what it may actually translate from one language to another?”

Mark R. Sullivan

an address given on April 9, 1953, quoted in The Kingston Daily Freeman (p. 1), April 10, 1953; and in The Tacoma News Tribune, April 11, 1953
