There were no smart phones when I was a kid.
Not a single one.
Home computers were not common, although a neighbor had an Atari.
We had no internet, and the woman who answered when you dialed zero could get quite cross with you.
We were introduced to smart phones at the same time all you other J Rods were introduced to them.
In fact, when they first came out we did not have money enough to buy them.
