I’ve lived both, am fully addicted to my phone, and genuinely believe we were better off then.

I wish I had a boombox with a cassette player in my pocket.

When I went on a trip in the early 2000s, I took a phone, a satnav, an MP3 player, a camera and for longer trips a netbook with a UMTS stick (3G modem you could plug into a USB port). Plus all the associated chargers, cables and other gubbins. I felt really cool and modern with my huge, clunky tech bag. Now that seems quaint and outdated. I wonder if people will feel the same about smartphones in 20 years.

Ah yes I remember wearing 3 personal cassette players, and a disc man at the same fricking time.

The funny part is that my phone always falls from my pocket

Alarmed by the intimation that the bloke has been cremated or compacted somehow.
