People Convinced Old Photo Of Child Holding iPad Is ‘Proof Of Time Travel’

Another user pointed out that, during the early days of cinema, theater ushers would often check audiences for writing materials to prevent illegal attempts at transcribing films.

This could explain why the boy in question appears to be carrying a notebook rather than a futuristic gadget.

Skeptics have also noted that even if time travel were possible, carrying an iPad back to 1941 wouldn’t make much sense.

“Not going to be much use, NO INTERNET then!” one person quipped.

Others pointed out the historical context, with one remarking: “Ain’t no way in the world anyone black would travel back to 1941. Wasn’t exactly a ‘good time’ for us.”
