  I miss the excitement of new and better.

  From cellphones bolted into cars To affordable handhelds To text messaging OMG you can send pictures!? (Crappy, But yes!) Free nights, free weekends Then unlimited texts Nokias to flip phones, to phones with slide-out keyboards and windows CE on them… Then most plans slowly became unlimited data/voice/text

  Then came the iphone which wrecked everything. They’re all black obelisks now that are virtually mini-pc’s that want to do nothing except track you, monetize you, keep you constantly connected, distract you, and disengage you. Nothing’s new, you just own less, pay more, and fight a retreating battle for your privacy and rights.

  My dumb ass waiting til near midnight to download songs because then it’d reset and I’d be able to download twice as many… Half as often

  This is how data works in some African countries. 00:00-06:59 is unlimited.
