I might spend abnormal amounts of time browsing things on my smart phone (like this forum right now)
but even I miss old phones sometimesSpoiler
when I was kid some people still only had landlines and some even had those cool antique phones you'd have to roll the numbers on i remember having to use them sometimes to call my parents that I'm staying at someones house after school
I got my first mobile phone (nokia) when I was 7 but it didn't have sim card then just snake game n stuff
tbh i think that was the best like if you went out no one was gonna reach ya true freedom man just playing snake at some playground like true rebel i was and battery lasted for thousand years
think I was able to use it for calls and texting when I was like 11?
I just remember there was like call sunday when i could call as much as I wanted for 1 euro so i would call all my friends and waste their time :lol:
(funny to think cause these days i literally would not call anyone except mom voluntarily even if there was zombie apocalypse outside)
there was also limits to how many texts you could send and it felt so special when people would use their last texts for month to text you something :lol: also meant lots of weird cut texts cause people ran out of letters in the middle
i didn't really have smartphone in my teen years or well i did have touch screen but it was one of those early nokia ones that were really not made to be smart phones and I only used social media and chat things on desktop
i shall thank universe for that because I don't even want to know what i would have been posting :sweat_smile:
anyway yeah I just miss the simpler times sometimes
it was nice when people would actually talk to each other not to walls and to text someone you didn't need million different apps (which people never use same one i swear and im just so tired of them)
i also just miss being not available to anyone with valid excuse of "no phone available" but i guess i can relive that when my battery runs out every 2 hours
in fact i believe ive returned to landlines because my "smart"phone will simply run out of battery the second i take it off charger
anyway yeah i wish my sims had landline phones because i live for the nostalgia
but also because it would be so nice if we could turn the mobilephones nonsense off for our sims
to have peace from all the calls and whatever sometimes too
and i feel like landline phones would enable them to do the needed calls like firepals or ordering something or whatever
Well, landlines haven't disappeared, it's just that people don't need to use them anymore since everyone has mobile phones nowadays which are more convenient. They are not really needed for households, just for businesses. You can always switch off your mobile if you don't want to be disturbed.
