Talking Doll
Thomas Edison invented the cylindrical phonograph in 1877 and was looking for ways to commercialize it. In 1888, Edison developed a china doll equipped with a cylindrical phonograph with pre-recorded messages. It was a commercial flop — consumers thought the dolls were creepy.
Talking dolls did not enjoy commercial success until 1959 with Mattel's Chatty Cathy. Chatty Cathy could say 11 phrases and was the second most popular doll of 1960 (after Barbie)

Dacey,
it's a handsome photograph, I'll give it that, but for now I'd rather date women, thanks.

#9 Tesla fanboys will believe anything. That idea of electricity through the air is dangerous and so busted.

You're assuming that all frequencies of microwave radiation are dangerous. Tesla lived to a 86 years, despite his exposure to it. Cell phone towers use microwave frequencies.
