Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation.

I once missed a call from my mother on my cell phone because it was getting late…

I got in trouble due to the fact I didn’t call her back.

The phone didn’t have caller ID on it… so I had no idea who had called. All it said one 1 missed call.

Cell phone tech has definitely been a process.

I got in trouble once because there was a small earthquake in Brooklyn that made everyone call each other so it clogged up the lines, this was before 5g so the congestion problems were way worse.

Mom at first thought I broke her phone lol.

Your comment reminded me of that incident lol

So every time after that, I’d bring up that incident when ever my parents falsely accuse of doing something wrong
