I'm that old, too. Can you imagine a student back then saying, "I'll have a calculator, flashlight, camera, video recorder, music collection, and games to pass the times I have to wait on others."

"Oh yeah and it's also a phone"

"Oh yeah and it's also a computer that's more powerful than any computer you've ever laid eyes on that has access to an unimaginable wealth of human knowledge via a wireless connection to the Internet."

I listened recently to somebody on a podcast saying that only psychos or close family would dial you in this day and age... And I kinda agree.

Or medical providers, professional contacts, service providers ...
