    Even just over 25 years ago youd have been like “What are you gonna do, hand me a sheet of paper with some text on? Why dont you just tell me?”

    Although, when I was in school we’d pass each other sheets of paper with extended conversations on. I found an old homework diary with loads of messages in once, years after school.

        Ill be honest i cant remember when texting became a thing.

        I dont think it was a thing in 2000.

        I stand corrected. My first phone was my mums old phone. It had the feature, but they wouldnt send, this was 2000 or 2001.

          Also got my first cellphone in 2000, but I was kind of a Luditte, mobile-phone-wise at least.
          Everybody around me were already texting happily to each other, so I had to relent at some point… :-)
