Not to mentioned the phrases that probably never were used before cellphones.
Saying “I will text you!” would have been a really weird statement just 50 years ago…
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.
Dude, don’t want to make you feel old, but 25 years ago was 2000…
It would be rather something like over 30 years ago.
Ill be honest i cant remember when texting became a thing.
I dont think it was a thing in 2000.
Also got my first cellphone in 2000, but I was kind of a Luditte, mobile-phone-wise at least.
Everyone around me were already texting happily to each other, so I had to relent at some point… :-)
