Talking Boards
Believe it or or not, the Ouija board was one of the first wireless communication devices.
For a thorough history of the Ouija board and the man responsible for its popularity, pay a visit to WilliamFuld.com. Researched and created by Robert Murch, the site is sanctioned by the Fuld family and describes the family feud that Murch helped put to rest by getting the grandchildren in touch with each other. Of course there’s a listing of all the early iterations of the board plus other historical items such as customer letters, patents, and even the stencils used to make the boards. On the more modern side, there’s a list of iPhone/iTouch apps, which is what led me to the site originally as my brain had conjured up the image of a new age fortune teller communicating with the spirits by gesturing over an iPad.
