Slow yer hyperbole there, ese. Without electricity, text messaging could not exist.

Then we wouldn’t have phones at all which would be fine with me

The was no hashtag or asterisk on the model I bought my kids.

gotta be able to teach em how to do *69

I still don't know what I used to use # for on those phones...

 

[Kburjr]

Nah. I hate talking on the phone. I can ask a question without actually talking to anyone

Just the opposite for me. I will answer one question texting. Ask me 2, and expect your phone to ring.

Automated menus? hah!! "Say or press 1"

Or have never driven a manual transmission?

Or have watched a Black and White TV?

Done all three of those.

BONUS: Learned to drive a manual by a three-on-the-tree.

The hashtag or pound sign was also used as an abbreviation for pounds, just like it says. 35#

And it's a good thing "pound" changed to "hashtag" or else the whole twitter thing would have a different tone.

Imagine if "#metoo" was "pound me too".
