They used them at my parents’ church in the late 90’s— parents of little kids would hold one during the service in case the nursery needed them

Even as a younger millennial they were barely in my life. My mom had one when I was in elementary school for work, and other than that I just know beepers from medical shows and Dennis, the beeper king, from 30 Rock. Technology is cyclical.

Millennials at least had media that were still active that used pagers. For example, any kid growing up with Hey Arnold (1996, the final cutoff year for a millennial roughly), you would get introduced to Big Bob’s Beepers which is literally just a store that sells pagers.
