Flip Phones and Facebook Notifications
There’s something satisfying about shutting the flip cover of your flip phone after making a call. You can’t do that with smartphones nowadays. If you try to angrily tap your iPhone’s screen, you’ll end up causing irreparable damage to it and be forced to purchase the latest iPhone as a replacement.
But what was totally awesome about flip phones in the early 2000s was that they had an internet connection. And anyone on Facebook could sync their accounts to their flip phones and receive SMS notifications of new messages, new friend requests, and comments. Back then, this was cutting-edge. Today, it sounds like more of a hassle than a convenience.
