Not only is he texting, but that looks like an iPhone 5! Clear proof of time-travelling? I think so!
Errr - if its’ the boy on the extreme right hand side, I’d say he’s more likely to be whittling a piece of wood…
Or is he counting his money, Or he looks at his marbles….
I would say it looks more like he is rolling tobacco…
Doesn’t look like he is texting. Plus, who would he be texting in the past? No cell towers, etc.
He is looking at his pocket watch.
My first impression was that he was rolling a cigarette. In a flashy, one-handed manner too; I used to know people who did that.
Forget the texting, he’s a Wolf Man!
It’s well known that the iPhone 5 will have a time travel app.
He’s clearly trying to get hold of that old lady in the Charlie Chaplin video.
Errr…am I missing something? It doesn’t even look like he has a face?
…………but what’s wrong with HIS FACE?!!!
The key word is he’s TRYING to Text, but he has AT&T and he keeps getting dropped.
why hasnt anyone enhanced
Seriously, either one-hand cig-rolling, or checking a pocket watch.
And anyone calling this MIDDLE-AGED BLACK MAN a “boy” is gonna get strangled with their white robes…

checking the time on his pocket watch?
He’s not texting, he’s clearly playing Words With Friends.
I clearly see the iphone in his hand, i can’t believe you guys are so exceptic about it. And i have the app “Time Travel Beta” for iphone, and its great.
