Old moaning gits - mobile phones

OMG - nice!

Damn. I'm old.

I remember seeing a video in the 80's about how computers would give us so much leisure time - what the hell happened????

When I was a kid there were still rotary phones

"Were still" that's all we had until I was well and truly a teenager - yikes!!!

In one of the main travel hubs on Long island there are still Payphones in the bus station

Yeah, we've still got them, but a lot of them are used as wifi hot spots, so you often see people standing next to them on their smartphones :-)

Remember when they all started to shrink and it was like the coolest person has the smallest phone???

One of my favorite phones was a Samsung flip phone, kept it for 7 or 8 years and it would still hold battery charge for 2 days...loved that phone. Didnt get rid of it till the wife forced me to join the smart phone population because I was "embarrassing her" lol

I had one of the free AT&T slide phones for about that long and I only charged it twice a week, it was amazing.

Yessir!

This is sort of what my first mobile phone looked like, except the bag was a little bit bigger, because it carried a car battery for keeping the phone charged
