We all take technology for granted. Even as much of a tech geek as I am, I still get mad when my phone can’t browse the Internet while I’m taking a call. Or that it doesn’t offer me real turn by turn GPS navigation. Sometimes though, you have to step back, and gawk at how bad things were in the past before we can remember how lucky we are now. Just think, 15 years ago, we were all walking around with beepers. Remember those? Yeah I’m trying to forget them too.

What about even further? Like this Radioshack commercial advertising their totally portable cellular phone. And yes, it is totally portable if you figure in the fact that it’s hard lined to a battery the size of a suitcase. Whether you appreciate technology or not, it is amazing, AMAZING, how far we’ve come.

And we can thank everyone who had to deal with those monstrosities for the awesome things we get today.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT the kid at the end.
