I have been writing so much about ongoing tragedies, wars and conflicts that I need to give it a rest.
So, for a change, I decided to read an article about the evolution of cell phones.
One of the first sentences was “Cell phones have evolved immensely since 1983, both in design and function.”
No kidding! But how about in size — unless that is part of “design.”
Which brings me to one of my first cell phones — I think we referred to them as mobile phones then. “Then” being the early 90s.
I think it was a Motorola phone, and it may have even been a satellite phone. I don’t remember.
But my children certainly do and laugh every time they see photos of me with the huge mobile phone I carried around 20 to 25 years ago.
I am sure there are some among our readers who had even larger “cell phones.”
Let’s hear about them — but no correlations between the author and the Neanderthals in the lead image.
