I remember Dick Tracy's wrist-radio well. Chester Gould was well ahead of his time. Think he would be surprised at the capabilities of the new Apple Watch.
My children and grandchildren have been told many times about the two-way wrist radio. They also know about Univac. They like to point out the gadgets from Star Trek. I guess I have them beat.
