An old photo from 83 years ago has the internet buzzing with wild speculation about time travel. The picture , taken in South Side, Chicago , by Edwin Rosskam in 1941, captures a line of snappy-dressing youngsters outside a cinema.
It’s a kid on the far right gripping what looks like an iPad thats causing a stir. Observant folks on social media are abuzz, proposing the idea that the boy might actually be a time traveler . The curious image surfaced on Reddit’s timetravelerscaught forum, with one user posting: “iPad carrying moviegoer, all the way to the right.”
Skeptics argue he was merely holding a commonplace object, with one suggesting: “Looks like a book to me.” Presenting historical context, another user noted: “Back in the day of early film, ushers scanned the audience for pens and notepads as to prevent bootleg recreations of the film,” reports the Daily Star .
