How did we survive our high school years with what little we had? Okay, I don't think I needed video games, but a computer and a cell phone would have been great.
Just think about it. It seemed to take us so long to get anywhere, even around town. I walked a lot, but even some of those that drove didn't always get to go when and where they wanted. What better time to have a cell phone? I got the evil eye sometimes when I used the phone at home but a cell phone would have came in handy with all that time walking.
How many would have gotten expelled for using the cellphones in school? Ann Jaynes probably would have and so would Allen McNabb, not to mention Donna and Pat.
I don't know if I would have used text messaging that much, because I don't now, but back then I think I would have been better at it. My two young ones do it all the time now. They can type faster with two thumbs than I can with two hands.
MP3 players would have been good too. Ever see someone walking back then with their transistor radio held up to their ear? I did it a time or two and the sad part was noise was pretty much all you heard. Tilt or turn your head the wrong way at the wrong time and you lost the station entirely.
