Pagers, Beepers and Connected Technology: A Xennial Take
Manage episode 388186509 series 3530200
If you've ever beeped someone 9-1-1, or told someone to hit you on the hip -- you might be a Xennial. And we are too.
Join us as we talk about all things pagers / beepers... including the ones we used to own and how we used them.
In their heyday, 61 million people worldwide carried pagers / beepers -- including (gasp) the teenagers of the world. It may seem obvious, but the life and death of pagers is not as straighforward as we were led to believe.
Follow us down this rabbit hole, won't you?
