All other things aside, 20 years is a long fucking time. 20 years ago we barely had cell phones. The iPhone was 2007 I think.
We barely had mobile phones 20 years ago? You sure about that?

I think i meant smart phone. Apparently cell phone adoption was in the 60%+ range in 2005

As low as that, eh? I got my first mobile (Nokia 3310) in 2003, and I felt like I was the last of my peers to get one (my classmates had mobiles around 1999, I remember Snake being big during my GCSE years). I expect at that time they were just more common among millennials than the older generations? I'm sure I was the only one in my year group from Year 11 to the end of Year 13 to not have a mobile.
