Encounters of the fourth type: a little tale...? I was a young teen in Brussels when my dad brought home a guy who said to be working for some company. I ignore how they knew each other.This was maybe in 1978. For some reason i still don't know, this guy asked me what his company should make in the future. What came to my mind was this toy made of two cans linked with a string that lots of kids have played with as a phone. So i said to make phones without cables and i also talked about objects in space that will get and make the calls, and i mentioned the countries around the soviet union which had made a pact with it. My brothers were laughing at me: countries in orbite around earth, imagine that! But in french, these countries were called satellites countries, i just didn't know the word yet. Anyway the guy wasn't laughing, he said: that's make sense to me, thank you. The name of is company was Nokia.
