When Gen-Xers were growing up, cell phones were carried in briefcases, Cable only had 20 or so channels and there was no such thing as an IPod. get your timelines straight.
I am older than YOU!! lol
I’m apparently from that generation and when I was growing up we still had the phones on the wall that you had to dial and if someone pissed you off you could brain them with the receiver alone they were so heavy. Cable didn’t come til I was in junior high. I can vividly remember my dad buying a cordless phone when I was in early high school and it had an intercom on it. He stood at the base in the kitchen and had me go in the backyard with the handset. It was the coolest thing ever. LOL
