hmmmm, I don't want people going into the story with 1890 in their minds. Alexander Graham Bell filed his patent in 1876, but the car phone took another 100 years. (Intro will be edited.)

Good point. Kids born after 1990 probably immediately think of the 1900s when they hear the phrase "the last century." I wonder what the cut-off birth year is for the 1800s to be the first thing to come to mind upon hearing that phrase. I'll do some informal interviewing on this question.
