Pyro Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Some of us need the technology to be able to communicate and keep in contact........

Cee Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Comparing my last serious relationship in 1998 to this one in 2011 is kind of fun. 1998 - He wrote my number down on a box top and left a message on my answering machine. 2001 - He plugged my number in his phone. Texted good night and called me for a date. 1998 - We talked on the phone every day that we didn't see each other. We had quite a few fights on telephone. 2001 - My cell drops calls and he uses his phone a lot so he runs out of battery so phone service is less reliable than the old days. But we email each other a lot. 1998 - We used to get lost on road trips and ask for directions at a gas station. 2001 - My BF insists on using GPS even when we know the way. Never ask for directions anymore. 1998 - Nobody could reach me and my boyfriend on the weekends because I had caller ID and nobody cared if I didn't call them back in a couple of days. 2001 - My BF and I feel obligated to immediately take calls from family because they'd worry if we didn't pick up right away. After all, we have mobiles and shouldn't be lying around in bed at 1 in the afternoon. I don't think the old days were better, but it did have it's advantages.
