1st cell phone at age 67. But bought a GPS (Garmin) about 20 years ago.
To: Sacajaweau
They had commercial GPS 20 years ago? I did not know that - thanks for sharing.

In 1976 Motorola put phones in the MAST/DUSTOFF UH-1H’s at Ft. Lewis. This 35K20 “helped.” That was amazing then.

And now we’re totally dependent on them. Feel freaked out when we realize we left it at home.

I remember at work in The mid 90’s they were testing out a Motorola Text device to replace our beepers which was pretty cool, i could e-mail etc with it.
Then they quickly replaced that with the heavy brick Nextel phone.
I have HATED cell phones ever since.
I still cringe when i hear that nextel alert noise.

I got my first cell phone when my fourth grandchild in five months was anticipated. I drive a mail route and being away from a phone on a day when some kind of news was expected was absolutely the worst of my life. Everyone else knew what was going on, except me. The GramE. I went home and signed up. Oct of 99. I now have 10 grandchildren.
