Mercychen:That was then. I'm just glad I was opportune to witness the technology of that time and can say a thing or two. Truth is in a few years from now, a lot of gadgets that we're crazy about will be old school. Remember LG Chocolate or the BlackBerry phone and the Samsung Slide or flip phones? Its technology. Enjoy it while it last if you can afford it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mercychen: I was aware well before pagers were invented, never really owned one though. In those days the device was commonly associated with drug dealers. 3 Likes 1 Share |

WaterWalker5: Small challenge if you don't mind. Can you guess what will be the dominant technology in personal comms. about 25 years from now? Even a wild guess will do here. |

I was born in the 80s and presently middle-aged. You can guess my age. I saw this utilised for only 2 years in Nigeria. Rap videos of 2006 and a little later still featured these devices. Someone born in 1995 (Indomie generation) was 11 years old at the time. This is not about being old, I think exposure really played a part. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I think it was an SMS machine before hand like 3300 or Nokia floricent took over. . . It started getting popular but handset (SMS) killed it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AlusiNkeIzizi:25 years is too far. Because we're entering the age of Quantum science and Artificial Intelligence. So by that time technology will be seamless. There won't be phones as we know them today cos at that time due to AIs and Quantum Science, nobody will need to carry bulky phones around anymore. Just like we used to stay at home and stay by our Analog phones to recieve calls, so it'll be then. Cars will take over the airways, Commercial airlines will Run not by human Pilots but by AIs. Long story short. 25years from now, The world would be so transformed that the stuff we use now will be museum artifacts |

falcon01: Same here. Had no reason to use it, we had a functional land line in the house but i had uncles that were always putting it by their trousers, it looked more like a fashion accessory than anything meaningful then. 1 Like 1 Share |
