    That is hilarious. Nice fucking job with the research Today show. Wtf, lol.
    I was in my very early 20s when I first used the internet, and didn't get my first cell phone until 2001.... and I can't really remember what it was like without it. Especially no cell phones though. You could only be in touch with people from home, or seek out a pay phone, and then could only hope that the other person was home too. How weird. I can't believe you actually had to answer the phone without even knowing who was calling. image
    And with no internet..... how did anyone know anything?? image

    When I heard this over the radio I thought how innocent they were trying to understand the Internet and what it is supposed to do. I didn't get my first cell phone till 1997 as a birthday gift and I refused to buy one so my then wife gave me one. I wonder if she gave it to me to keep tabs on me?
