The Virgosign on the mobile phone.

Does anybody clearly remember life before the mobile phone? The mobile revolution started in the mid to late 80s. It was a bulky contraption looking close to a ladies handbag with a strap to be slung over the shoulders. You could make very expensive calls on it .. if you talked loud enough. Then a couple of years later, SMSs (Short Message Service) were introduced. They had to be very short because the cost was horrendous. Sending an 'I love you' would cost the equivalent of about a dollar in today's money. And that's nigh 33 years ago.
Now, few, if anybody can live without the mobile. FaceBook, Twitter, BBC, CNN, WhatsApp, Messenger, Camera, eMail, YouTube, Spotify, ePayments and 'e'verything else one can think of.
It's taken over our lives, and some ! And maybe it's time to revert back to using the mobile to making short and necessary phone calls, and take back our lives.
Yes, maybe I'll do that. Tomorrow.
Today I need to stay abreast of all the gossip ! laugh laugh
Peace.

Mine doesn't consume me at all.

I'm always being told off for not checking my text messages and having my ring tone down to zero laugh
Because of mobiles we can't escape anyone these days sigh
Itchy .... I'd say, because of mobiles you CAN escape anyone these days. Depends as always on the perspective xx
I still can't answer calls on mine and as it only rings three times and normally sat in the bottom of my bag I've no chance.
You CAN confused
Virgo, what you know that I don't ... you must share with me someday, I've a feeling the benefits will be very satisfying wink .. lips
