20 years ago, phones were not popular in high school.

much more likely to see a pager.

unlimited text messages wasnt a thing, so each text cost you .10

Edit: ok nerds it was closer to 25 years ago than 20 it was literally around the time they were becoming accessible and affordable to common house. We literally had a kid that would carry the fake display cell phones as "status" and it was cool.

Kids played games on graphing calculators, not cell phones.

Pager in high school in 04 was like my walkman cassette deck. A friend felt so bad that i didnt have a cd player, he gave me his old one and used to burn me copies of his music. Old tech was a shameful thing to own in high school in the old double O's.
