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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
