Starting a thread from a previous topic on getting old. I wanna know how many people remember when cell phones were non-existent. How many ppl remember their parents giving them 35cents to make a phone call when they went out with friends? How many people even remember pay phones (that worked)? How many ppl remember the car phone (only rich ppl or hood rich ppl had that)? And lastly how many ppl still remember the first cell phone (that big phone that looked the size of a minature bat).

I remember when pay phones were 25 cent. I always wanted a beeper....my mom is old school so I finally got a cell phone like maybe 10th or 11th grade of high school. I met a 12 year old in church on Sunday that had a cell phone. I was like dayum I would have looked up to you when I was 12. I remember not having a computer...and going over my aunt's house to use a computer that typed on a blue screen...didn't have a mouse...you had to type in some type of code to get to every program and when it printed it made that eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound.

Man, I remember when I didn't have a cell phone and I also remember when cell phones were not the "trend". Before my cell phone I had pagers. Does anyone remember them. I thought I was koo with a pager on my hip that went off everyone other second, but that quickly faded and I had to give it up for my celly.
