Pioneering physicist Nikola Tesla predicted the concept of SMS text messages as far back as 1909.
He was correct albeit the better part of century too soon, Tesla predicted that we would all one day communicate with one another with text messages sent through portable devices. His comments were published in Popular Mechanics magazine in 1909.
Texting may be a boon in today's world, but the concept was visualised more than a century ago. And, it was a pioneering American physicist who had predicted about the portable messaging service, like the SMS, via a hand-held device in the 'Popular Mechanics' magazine in 1909, its Technology Editor Seth Porges has claimed.
