Did you used to have a Pager or Beeper? Or maybe one of these..

in #tech8 years ago

 Did you ever used to be one of the people that owned a Pager?
 

Or sometimes they were called a Beeper.
 

Or are you simply asking yourself, what the hell is a Pager? Or what's a Beeper?
 

Pagers paved the way for the smartphone that you own today!
 

So if you ever had a Pager like this and ran your life on it.

Yeah you can laugh now! But if it wasn't for the Pager you wouldn't have this..

 

Oh and if it wasn't for the smartphone, there wouldn't be this..

Or even this..

Alright, I know these last two are only concepts!

But they all wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the Pager!

Also if you ever done any work on something like this..

 I know where's the screen right!? That's a Smith Corona XE 5200 Word Processor and back then we was hardcore and never used screens!

Yeah go on laugh at its primitiveness. But if it f it wasn't for the word processor we wouldn't have any of these...

Yes, they added a screen to it. That was clever right?

And this..

and this..

Is all possible because of it! And yes they still have cookies in the future as you can see!

So if you ever had and owned a Pager (Beeper) or a Word Processor like that above.

And if you can relate to this...

I got a lot of respect for you!

Just remember - if it wasn't for any of these, we wouldn't have the tech that we have now. Obviously.

Did you used to own a Pager? Can you remember what make or model it was?

Are you still using one!?
