Old Photo Of Child Holding “Ipad” Sparks Frenzy Online As People Claim It’s Proof Of Time Travel
A common misconception is that an antique photograph of a youngster clutching what looks to be an iPad is “proof of time travel.”
Some internet users are busy examining the past, especially a decades-old photograph that has generated contentious debates regarding time travel, while Apple may be concentrating on influencing the future with its state-of-the-art technology.
The resurgence of a 1941 black-and-white shot by photographer Edwin Rosskam on Reddit has created quite a stir.
The image offers an intriguing glimpse into a bygone period as it shows a group of kids standing in line outside a Chicago movie theater.
However, a fascinating element seen on the far right side of the frame is what has people talking the most, not the image’s historical significance.
A young youngster wearing a suit and cap is seen there carrying what some people think is an iPad.
This peculiarity has prompted some paranormal enthusiasts to suggest an odd explanation: the youngster must have somehow obtained the tablet in the present and then went back in time with it, since Apple didn’t produce the first iPad until 2010.
The peculiar sighting has captivated social media users, with one person writing: “How is the first kid in line holding an Apple iPad in 1941[?] (Time for the theme from The Twilight Zone.)”
Another observer added: “If you zoom right in close, that is too big to be a ‘book’ or ‘notepad’ plus you can see what looks like the iconic Apple logo on the back of it.”
“You can literally see the Apple logo,” a third commented.
Other commenters pointed out another possible contradiction in the picture, which further muddled the mystery.
A girl in a white hat standing close to the middle seems to be clutching something that strikingly resembles a contemporary plastic water bottle.
One person questioned this detail, penning: “I can’t work out what that actually is. I would say that is more suspect than the ‘iPad.’”
This revelation simply stoked more conjecture, since plastic water bottles weren’t commercially available until 1947, six years after the shot was taken.
Not everyone, though, is certain that the picture offers unmistakable evidence of time travel.
More rational explanations for the abnormalities have been proposed by numerous Reddit users.
Others contended that the purported iPad is more likely to be a notebook or possibly a religious text, while one person speculated that the so-called
“It’s most likely The Holy Bible. [The children] have their Sunday best on, bless their wee souls. Yes, I definitely think that’s what it is,”
Another user brought up the fact that, in the early days of cinema, ushers would frequently search patrons for writing equipment in order to stop unauthorized efforts to copying movies.
This may help to explain why the youngster in question seems to be carrying a notebook instead of a cutting-edge device.
Even if time travel were feasible, it wouldn’t make much sense to bring an iPad back to 1941, according to skeptics.
“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.”
Can’t wait to try this!
Dealing with ants in your home can be a frustrating and relentless battle. These tiny invaders seem to appear out of nowhere, marching in long lines across countertops, floors, and even into your pantry. Over the years, I’ve tried countless methods to get rid of them—chemical sprays, baits, traps, and even some of those DIY remedies you read about online. Some methods worked temporarily, while others were downright useless.
That was until my aunt shared with me a surprisingly simple trick that wiped out an entire ant colony in just 3 minutes with virtually no effort at all. If you’re tired of dealing with these persistent pests, this method might just be the solution you’ve been searching for.

The Problem with Conventional Ant Remedies
Before diving into the trick, it’s important to understand why many conventional ant remedies often fail or offer only temporary relief. The problem lies in the nature of ant colonies. When you see ants inside your home, you’re only witnessing the tip of the iceberg. The real issue lies in the colony, often hidden away in walls, under floors, or outside the home. K.i.lling the ants you see may temporarily reduce the problem, but unless you target the colony itself, they’ll keep coming back.
Many store-bought ant traps and sprays are designed to k.i.ll on contact. While this might make you feel like you’re solving the problem, you’re actually just eliminating the worker ants that venture out to find food. The queen and the rest of the colony remain untouched, continuing to breed and send out more workers.
The Trick: Borax and Sugar Solution
My aunt’s trick is both simple and effective. It uses a common household item, borax, combined with sugar to create a potent but safe ant k.i.ller. Borax, also known as sodium borate, is a naturally occurring mineral that is often used in cleaning products. When ingested by ants, it disrupts their digestive system and eventually k.i.lls them. The key to this method’s success lies in the sugar, which acts as a bait to lure the ants to the borax.
Here’s how you can do it:
What You’ll Need:
Borax: Available at most grocery stores in the laundry aisle.
Granulated Sugar: Regular table sugar works perfectly.
Water: To dissolve the mixture.
Cotton Balls or Small Pieces of Cardboard: To place the bait around your home.
