If you would've said to me back in the 90's, when I was actually selling those huge Motorola bagphone cellphones, (remember those?)  that we would have these tiny little smartphones, Id've never believed you.

I used to have to program those suckers.   They had to be hardwired and installed into vehicles.   It was maybe, 1990.

I remember the 'Brick phone' too.   They weighed a ton, you probably could create some serious neck problems if you spent too long talking, and it cost pretty much $3.00 a minute to use them back then.   Yes kids, they really did exist.

Fast forward now, 24 years later.  I suppose I am dating myself now, eh?  They say cars are going to start offering apps.    Do we really need any more distractions while driving?   I say we should hurry up and invent automatically driven cars.
