26 - CATF Time Capsule: Cellphones

It's our first "Time Capsule" ep and we are sooooo excited! We decided to go back through some older episodes and select a few gold mines of nostalgia to do a real deep dive on. First up: cellphones! Danielle teaches Steph all about the evolution of mobile phones from 1983 to current day, car phones, T9 texting, ringtones, the most addictive games and - of course - how critical it was to customize your phone to represent you as a person.  Episode sources: Danielle's dad https://www.lifewire.com/definition-of-t9-predictive-text-578677 https://www.tigermobiles.com/evolution/ https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2001/12/17/ringtones-cell-phones-latest-tune/ https://www.wired.com/2014/11/we-loved-you-once-nokia/ https://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/28/technology/circuits/souping-up-the-cell-phone.html https://www.gameopedia.com/the-history-evolution-and-future-of-mobile-gaming https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-aug-19-fi-7054-story.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_bag_phone  https://www.ebay.com/itm/155277480632?hash=item24274252b8:g:uuIAAOSwq3ljgl7A
