Phones Of Years Past

What were we thinking?

Phones Of Years Past
News Activist

Remember when technology hadn’t totally found itself yet? Like, those rough, formative years of "trying new things” and “thinking outside the box?”

Here’s a revisit of some of the most notable phones of yesteryear.

1. Tracfone

1. Who the f**k would spell ‘phone' like that?

2. This phone screams “Wal-Mart.”

3. Pay-by-the-minute. Sounds like my first girlfriend, A-YO!!!


2. The LG EnV

Double the screens, double the fun (nudes).


3. Blackberry Curve

For no reason. What kind of emails did I have to deal with? None!

I think I just liked it because it screamed “New York lawyer in pantsuit who has it all.” And that is what 10 year old Myles wanted to be.


4. Palm Treo


I will never get over this phone. Why? Because this was the phone that Danielle Panabaker and Brenda Song stole from Jason Cahill (Taran Killam) in "Stuck in the Suburbs" and it was the coolest.

RIP Jason Cahill’s hair.


*Note Jason Cahill's left hand is holding a Palm Treo.

**Note Danielle Panabaker is holding some janky ass Nokia. Ew Danielle.


5. The Old People Phone (Jitterbug)

Heaven forbid you need to call ANYONE besides an operator (wtf is that even?), a tow service or 911.

Like, do old people ONLY ever get into trouble?


6. Firefly


If you had this phone, your parents either hated you or loved you way too much.

Also, how f**king binary is this phone?! Like have you SEEN "Modern Family" Firefly? Mom or Dad? What about Mom or Mom? I might want to call Mitchell or Cam!


7. T-Mobile Sidekick

T-Mobile: If it were ever cool, it was exclusively because of this phone. Legitimately every celebrity had this phone.

Please enjoy the following: A young Miley and friend showing off their Sidekicks.

The literal coolest.


8. The RAZR

Honestly, the amount of configurations you could have this phone was ungodly. Like there was: blue, pink, silver, black, grey, red, gold, 2K gold, one with a blue light on the front, one with a music player, etc.

Also, does anyone remember the "Hello Moto" theme song? That's the shit that will haunt your dreams.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
