Former US presidential front-runner and moon colony-enthusiast Newt Gingrich took to the internet yesterday with a video from his multimedia production company, where he called on the internet to think of a term for an “internet connected mobile phone”.
Mr Gingrich isn’t happy with calling these “pocket computers” cell phones any more, and it appears he has not heard of the word “smartphone”. If he’s trolling, he’s nailed it, but if he’s actually as “puzzled” as he says then it is a serious worry this man could have become president.
