Cell Phones Then and Now
It’s so weird to see old TV and movies from the 80s where people are talking into cell phones that look like a shoe box. But this was the era that the cell phone started to become a high tech gizmo everyone wanted. Heck, I even had one. It was huge. I was working in a not so safe neighborhood and my husband insisted I have it in the car just in case. It was probably about 30 lbs!

Today not only are cell phones much, much smaller, they are multi taskers. Most can play the radio and/or an mp3, connect to the Internet, and offer video games for you when you’re bored.
Thank goodness cell phones have come a long way. Of course, if they hadn’t, I sure would have some nice biceps from lugging around my old cell phone!
