Not necessarily. Many imperfect things in life are as good as it gets.

Everybody thinks that until a new invention occurs.

mobile phones were invented in the 1920s & commercialised in the 50s.

nope

Nothing like what we have today.

Not a chance, things that actually lasted were done away with decades ago.

Completely true, they are FAR smaller. Even the phone I had in the 90s was 3 times larger.
