Comment on Phrases like “I am here” or “Are you here yet?” are used today more than in the past because of cellphones.

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.

    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… :-)
