Pagers. Remember those things? Talk about a stop-gap technology that was rendered obsolete in no time flat. Go ahead, explain that little blip of technology to your kids. I dare ya:"Yeah so this thing beeped when someone needed to get a hold of you."
"What made it beep?"
"They called the pager's phone number."
"Which made it beep?"
"Yes."
"And then what?"
"And then you would call the person who paged you."
"With the pager....?"
"Uh.... no. You had to go and find a phone."
"Find... a.... phone...."
"Yeah, most people couldn't afford a cell phone, so they had a pager instead."
"Dumb. How big was it?"
"Uhh................. about the size that a cell phone is now."
