Re: Idiots said by EPS:"at&t flagged my account while I was away overseas and I had no contact with my family! That was really bad of them, they shouldn't just close off people's accounts like that!" I grew up without cell phones or the internet or 911 or answering machines(they didn't come around until high school for most people I knew). I tell you, you guys sound like it's the end of the world if you don't have immediate access to everyone. |

| It is... JK. Anyway, I think most people over 25 grew up without a cell phone or computer. Computers were very expensive toys until around 1998 / 1999. Back then, they were in the MHZ. A 366 MHZ pc back in 1998 costs like 1500 dollars. That was a good chunk of change. A year or so earlier one could drop 2-3 grand for a computer. As per cell phones, those were also a late 90s item. Most people had beepers until the end of the 90s. Now every 10 year old has a cell phone and myspace. |

Some people didn't grow up with antibiotics and a functioning sewer system either. Sure they died by the age of 35, but life was good back then...huh?

But they didn't whine about not being connected to everyone every minute. Also I didn't try to drag a TV and a radio everywhere with me. LOL. I did always put a FM radio in whatever car I was driving. AM radio were standard for a long time. LOL>
So it seems that not having a cellphone in your world is the same as antibiotics not being invented yet??? |

Irvine, CA | My point being, times change.
Grow with them, or go live in Central Africa.
And yes, for some, being connected is very important.
