    Life was so much easier back in the days when we had these...



    I remember cops asking me if I was Doctor every time I got pulled over for something stupid.
    Like only Doctors used to carry beepers.

    Then I graduated to this, I never used it because it was like 5 bucks a minute, but no text, no emails, no camera, no video, no gps, no internet. Just a phone to make an emergency calls. Unless you had it Chipped. But I was too nerdy to do that.

    Never had a pager.

    Did have the huge phone though. Was fucking heavy but the reception on it was good.

      Yeah having a beeper and having to find a phone to make the call was much easier than carrying a phone in your pocket..

                  With the old tv's and radio's with the UHF band, you could just sit there and click around and pick up every single cellular call, hahaha. The originals were 100% analog with no time or data encoding whatsoever.

                                      my old man worked in electronics, so we always had the newest gizmos & gadgets before they were officially on the market. We had one of those giant satellite dishes on a freakin' trailer parked in the backyard too for a while.... i think it picked up 3 channels after hours of fine tuning. lol

                                                                                            Look how far we have seen TV and Cell Phones change, not counting everything else.

                                                                                            What will Apple do in the next 50 years?

                                                                                            What cell phones will my kids be using when they turn 15? Crazy to even think about it.

The oldest computer I remember him having was with 8 inch floppy disks. "Football" was a text only game - you're either on offense or defense, you pick pass or rush and it tells you how many yards were gained or lost. Good times.

Every Friday you had to take your check to the bank and wait in a long line to deposit it. You also tried to decide exactly how much you'd need to make it through the week so that you wouldn't have to go back.
