When cellphones took over...

[BmoreGorilla]

I swear it got harder to get in touch with a lot of people.

Now to set the record straight in advance I kno a lotta bum ass nikkas

But back in the day you could call up one of the homies or somebody on the house phone and either they were there or they weren't and you left a message and they called back. Not the case anymore.

Nobody has house phones and half of these nikkas can't keep a working cot damn number

If nikkas don't change their number every six months than you hear messages like these:

"The number you are calling is not reachable"

"The person you are calling is not accepting calls at this time...goodbye"

"The number or code you are dialing is incorrect...please try your call again later"

I'm on the other end like

Iunno what you talking about. Getting in touch with people became easier. Getting quality time, however...

I blame this shyt

When these popped off, texting and being on the phone all day became a hobby. I had to dump friends over them not paying me attention
unless it was via facebook. I dont know anyone I can't reach, that aint the problem, but if ya boy is in a jam, who really trying to slide through?
Homephones are passe.

People were much better at planning before cell phones were popular

I always see young black people on their smart-phones "24/7"

True. With easy communication, became too easy for people to just "wing" shyt. In the old days, at least when none of my boys could afford beepers, we all met
up a spot, THEN proceeded with our day. With cellphones, brehs got all kinds of excuses to flake, and they will give em to you in real time.

Mr. "Im down the block." Rolls up 15 minutes later.

when did you get back?

In the afternoon. Did a gang of work at my job and decided to catch up.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

Nah B. It's easy to get a hold of people. shyt even now I don't have to have their right phone number I can just hit them up on Facebook messenger and see if they looked at the message and everything. I know they be on Facebook because it says their online

 

[Couth]

Kinda true.

But now a days most people are on the gram anyway so you can link up with them through that.

my phone stays on maybe 3 months at once and then off for four
but then again no one calls me so...

These were selling like hotcakes in the college cafeteria/student union on campus.

EVERYBODY got a cellphone when they got on campus, paying like $40 a month. And that's all you could was a make a phone call

We've come a long way


But talk about a game changer.....no longer needed a pen to get a girls number, just whip out the phone .......... :and store your potential stable in your phone and not in a notebook somewhere.
Seriously, the pen was how you kept in touch with women you wanted to meet for decades, without a pen you had to remember the number. Now for this one particular facet of life, you had a computer in your pocket to store those 7 or 10 digits for you .......

When you think about the revolutionary change in the last 30 years......its if fuucking retarded..... I literally had one of these in my house that I used to make and receive calls..

..and now kids grow up with tablets as the only thing they've ever known

Catdamn phones came in 30 different colors. EVERYBODY had them shyts. Saw little kids with them too.

Passing the phone around to see who could get the high score. Into that shyt like it was a Game Boy. #dotmatrixsquad
