It's come too far.

I remember the days when our family had a cell phone before most people (relatively speaking, as in, 1993/94, before they really took off). Then everyone got one, and we weren't special.

I also remember being one of the first families to have a pentium computer, then everyone got one, and we weren't special.

Then, we were one of the first families to get a DVD player, and home theatre system. Then, everyone get one, and we weren't special.

Fuck all y'all who don't want me to be special.

Naw, I'm just kidding, it's great. Technology gives everyone access to great things in life. Also, some not so great things.

Ah I love gadgets and technology... it's my life really.

Interestingly, if I compare my brick-like Siemens S1 (very old) with my brand new Nokia 3650, they are almost the same size smile

Of course, the newer handset does a billion different things, whereas the old phone ... makes calls and that's it.

It's funny, I still have all the mobile phones I've ever had in the past 10 years (a very large number, but I won't say because you'll laugh at me), and they all still work (well except for the analogue ones - those networks were cancelled years ago). Putting them side by side, is a good indication of how the tech has advances over 10 years.

Very interestong, yes...

But isn't it true that a cell phone and a mobile phone are two different things...?

Don't really get it - U can't SMS from a cellphone, so what's the use?

btw, Nokia 3310 rox lol

The only reason cellphone technology has grown so quickly is because of the deal with Satan.
