Does the Ohio Valley Muffler & Brake Technical School really count as college?

As far as a time traveler, too many people only apply their own ideas of how time travel should/could take place. If it were a time traveler, more than likely it did the time traveling via a spaceship of some sort and the device it's using to communicate is communicating with the ship that's sitting in orbit, and not a cell phone calling other cell phones here on earth.

But if you're going to go that route, it's probably easiest to go with an alien communicating with the said ship!

OMFG, I watch way to many Sci-Fi shows!!!
SMH!:o

Huh? Based solely on that site, there are one or two models that it could be.

LOL, That didn't but my 16 week scholarship to Steubenville's Transmission Acadamy is considered college!

The only one I saw that came close, size wise and fell in the proper date period was...


But in the description it stated this...
This hearing aid is typical of early electrical hearing aids. It was large and not easily transportable – the batteries were cumbersome and the carbon components were highly sensitive to heat and cold.
So I ruled it out!

That, and what about the person she was talking to? THERE HAD TO BE A 2nd TIME TRAVELER!!!

Assuming time travel is real, it would be fun to go back to 1987 and then you could call Snooki and actually say "this is the 80's calling...we want the big hair back"

I'm not sure if you are talking about calling the 1987 Snooki, or calling the present day Snooki from 1987, but I thought this was interesting...Nicole Polizzi (Snooki) (born November 23, 1987)

Are we talking about 1920, now, or whatever year she actually came from?

The website is certainly not all inclusive. Hearing aid makes the most sense. Also, when you posted "early hearing aids..." that likely meant 19th century models. There were certainly small portable models in the 1920's.
