Not at first but they got cheaper, especially after cellphones started to become somewhat affordable.

True but then kids just jumped over to cell phones

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I had one briefly when I was in high school. Between school, extra curriculars, and two jobs I was never home to get calls so I kept it so that if my friends had something planned after I got off I could get into some trouble. This was before cell phones were small enough to be practical.

Unfortunately some folks that didn't like me got ahold of the number and would blow it the fuck up while I worked so I got rid of it and my friends started leaving notes under my windshield wipers when they'd go out.

In the 90s, a few 17-18 year olds I knew, had them

About the age when you got a job, but even then, that shit was not cheap.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
