1-4-3, 1-4-3, 1-4-3

I was thinking last night, while text messaging one of my friends, about how things are constantly changing with technology. Who would have dreamed 10 years ago, that we would be able to send pictures and emails via cell phone? Not I.
Who would have dreamed 10 years before that that we would have pagers the size of a quarter where you could send coded messages?
The pager era was the best...everybody had codes that we sent via pager: 1-4-3 meant "I love you," 1-8-7 was a message of hatred, 9-1-1 meant "call me back ASAP," etc.
I used 9-1-1 for everything. When I saw one of my friends' boyfriends at the mall with another girl, when I got braces and had to borrow silver jewelry from my friends to make sure that my jewelry matched my braces, when I accidentally singed my hair with my overheated blowdryer. Those were clearly 9-1-1 level emergencies!
Things were so much simpler then, and I'm now on a mission to bring back those trends...heads up for the 9-1-1 text messages coming soon to a cell phone near you!
