Yes, young ladies and gentlemen.. THAT was the 1st generation "MOBILE" phone. It also doubled up as lifting weights. I used to see my dad's veins on his forearms screaming for oxygen when he carried this around.
Us more mature folk would be going "ahh.. the memories!"
wanna take a closer look at it?
There ya go...
Question: What do you think is the most amazing invention of the 21st Century?
Miss Universe Contestant: The cellphone. Because it has made communicating with loved ones so much easier. We can now communicate with one another from across the globe. It has brought us closer together in ways that were never possible.
If I'm not mistaken, she went on to win THE Title.
Can't remember which year it was.
Can't remember which 'Miss' it was (as in, whether Miss Venezuela or Miss Chile or??)..
But I DO remember the answer. I thought to myself, "Wow, that is a pretty good answer." Even the host for the night was taken aback.
Now now now.. Don't get me wrong. I totally believe that people can be beautiful and smart.. I know of 4 women in my family who are exactly THAT!... ;) ;)
It has been incredible how the "importance" of this little contraption of transistors, wires, chips, buttons & so much more has increased in my life.
Rose's mom, 7 years ago: Rosaleen, why don't you take my handphone out with you?
Rose, 7 years younger: No thanks. So troublesome lah.
Rose's mom, 7 years younger too: Please take it. For emergency.
Rose, 7 years younger: Ok mom. Aiya, now I have one more thing to carry. haha.. :)
**there were many times after that.. phone rings.. Rose runs to pick it up**
After years of evolution that took place in my lil world...
Rose: Oooh... The I-Phone ROCKS!! Whoa.. the Dopod kinda rocks too.
**there are many times now.. phone rings.. Rose runs from having to pick it up**
HAHA.. the irony of life.
p/s - did YOU know that there was a time in the past that Sony was separate from Ericsson? *gasp*gawk*choke*
My first mobile phone was an Ericsson.
Tried looking for a picture of that phone online = search was fruitless.
