You don't understand, smart phones kind of came out of nowhere. And only rich kids had them, and they broke really easily. We made fun of them.
The only way you were having a calculator in your pocket was if you hauled a ti-85 around, which no one was ever going to do.
Didn't they have calculator watches like ages ago?
