When did you get your first mobile phone? Do you use a mobile or do you still have a land-line house phone? I haven't had a land-line for 10 years. I don't see the point in having one, any more. What mobile phone do you prefer?
My daughter got her first, when we returned to the US. She was working until after dark and I felt more at ease knowing she had one. Looking back it seems so large and cumbersome. It looked something like this:
I now have another Blackberry that was my daughter's. This is how it works: she gives me her old phone when she gets the latest and greatest. I'm on my 3rd "hand-me-down".
I'm just glad to have one. It is my security blanket. I feel really naked without it. I have turned around and gone home for it when I've forgotten it. I don't use the internet features, as she does, but then I'm never too far from from my Mac.
Here is a great old film of the "first mobile phone".

That was a cute piece of film.
I didn't get a mobile phone until 2001, when I needed one for work. I use a Blackberry now and wouldn't trade it for any Iphone. It is the best!
Growing up, we never had cell phones. Yet, when I leave the house, I panick if I don't have it. Just think, I was a 20ish girl living in AZ (before it was so populated) driving 60 miles a day across the desert on 2 bad tires without a phone! It's a wonder I survived!
LOL we were watching a movie over the weekend, and the characters were using flip phones. I don't think my 14 year old remembers them!
