#RememberWhen there were only two cellular carriers to choose from? No prepaid options, you had to almost always buy new phones if you changed providers, no unlimited calls, texts, or data.

Why do we expect competition in business, but we only allow two political parties? Yes, you can pick from more than two, but can you? Do the other candidates have any real power to compete?

T-Mobile and Sprint had to force AT&T and Verizon to be better. Perhaps we can do the same with our government.

... you were oh so proud of your "google-fu" - *not* anything to do with SEO - your friends knowing your ability to use https://www.google.com.au/advanced_search direct from the browser address box, intitle: inanchor: inurl: where your go-tos...
...then the rise of the list of things blogs meant adding "reddit" at the end of a natural language search...
...which I still do find so useful... alternatives anyone?

I was just amazed again by the pace of technology in my lifetime. I just paid for something using the #microchip in my credit card. Remember when they used to run cards in the ka-chunk sliders to make a physical copy of your name and card number? Then someone would physically input those in a computer after they were USPS mailed to a bank? Sweet gods could you imagine still doing that? #rememberwhen

#TuckerCarlson Outted at #Fox News.

#RememberWhen Kevin McCarthy gaves Tucker Carlson access to the trove of Jan. 6 riot tapes.

Questions is Tucker Style:
“I’m just asking questions here.”

So who gets custody of the tapes?
If it not me, what would they do with them?
Could they use clips from them in a HallMark movie of the week about two guys falling in love at the riot?
That would be a terrible lesson for our kids! Terrible!

Ever notice how every #Kroger grocery store smells the same? The smell of disinfectant, produce and fried chicken brings back memories. #rememberWhen #firstJobs

“Remember when you could drive anywhere? Remember when everyone lived in the pleeblands? Remember when you could fly anywhere in the world without fear? Remember hamburger chains, always real beef, remember hotdog stands? Remember before New York was _New_ New York? Remember when voting mattered?”

From “Oryx and Crake” by Margaret Atwood.

I wonder what tales will be spun to the grandchildren of my generation.

"Back in my day, we had this thing called snapchat. Now, this was before tiktok took over everything. At any rate, it had a thing called the snapmap, where you could see your friends' location if they were on Earth.

So, one night, my friends told me they weren't going out to 6th Street in #austin ...couple of hours later, I'm on snapchat. And there they were on the snapmap: At the club, without me." #rememberwhen #sxsw

I see everyone talking about Mastodon and how confusing it is. I was confused, too, until I saw someone explain it like this (for old people who remember): It's a lot like a bunch of Bulletin Boards all talking to each other. #RememberWhen

Does anyone else remember the drama over middle school birthday invites? Now as an adult, the intense emotions, tears and fights that happened over birthday parties seems so completely rediculous, but at the time people rrally took it seriously. #drama #growingup #rememberwhen
