5 megabyte hard drive, 1956
We got dial up in 96', before then we would play basketball or ride our bikes or even walk around the neighborhood, we had dirt roads. Once we took my buddies dads truck for a spin and it broke down, I think we were 11 or 12, and just in time the local sheriffs deputy happened by and helped us out. We manged to get into all kinds of trouble really.
I never had 'high speed' internet until I went to college.
Started dialing up in 87-88 when I was a wee-lad. If we wanted to know something we went to these places called libraries where the information was produced by pundits; not me.
our 'local' library won't give us a library card because we don't live in town.
RIP landlines.
Although you do HAVE to buy one to get internet in the UK. (I think). But nobody uses them for a phone...

We still have a landline and use it. :D

That's almost as gross as my buddy buying a physical disk to install a PC game the other day.

Not gross at all!
I hear from a few family members that they are being told by their cell phone provider that they will no longer be supporting their flip phones.
The day I'm told I can't get a flip phone is the day I go back to a landline.
Plus, there are still dial-up Unix systems/shell accounts still in service. :)

Why are you so passionate about flip phones?
they will no longer be supporting their flip phones.
they will no longer be supporting their flip phones.
I have a Galaxy Android with T-Mobile, and I can pull out my SIM and put it in my ancient, bulletproof Nokia 3390 and it works fine.
[with the card size adapter, of course]
Why are you so passionate about flip phones?
1. Compact Size. Every "smart" phone I see looks like you are carrying around a paperback book.
2. Energy efficiency. If I don't get too many calls I can go two weeks without charging.
3. Real tactile buttons! I hate touchscreen with a passion.
4. No BS flaky buggy apps that require reboots or run the battery dry.
I think that about covers it ...
Admit it.. You're a Hipster...

A hipster jumps onto a train; I never got off in the first place.
I had dialup in 96, no highspeed until 2002/2003.Dial-up BBS in '92. Imagine Geekhack in console mode. At most one user could dial in at once, unless the owner had multiple phone lines - which was rare. Some weren't even on dedicated phone lines but open only certain hours a day. I was "co-sysop" (mod) at a couple of boards for the Amiga and the "demo scene".

Do you remember when...
You didn't have a phone, smart or otherwise, on your person 24/7?
This thing would ring, and you would answer with, "Hello?"Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/7zBOGn2.jpg)
You had no way of knowing who was on the other end of the line while it was ringing, until a thing called "Caller ID" came along.
Text messaging? That was called "writing a letter," and you had to pay for a stamp to send it.

I actually have a rotary phone in my house since we still have a landline. It's annoying as ****, but also suitable decoration!

My grandparents had a rotary phone up until a few years ago.... have you tried using it drunk yet? Now that is a true test of skill.
Try using one where the finger stop has broken...
i remember a lot of things such as sneezing earlier today

These are the best texts and calls. I'm not really a drinker, but when I'm home at 9 o'clock on a Friday night and get some crazy **** sent to me, it really cheers me up. I'm all for drunk dialing.

Did someone say Rotary phones???
Check out this site: OldPhones.com (http://www.oldphones.com/)
They sell vintage rotary phones that have been converted for use on modern digital landlines.
This is the type of phone I would use if I could no longer have a flip phone.
the sound is crystal clear.
technology has been allowed to stagnate
