@JohnBrady 🙏

I still remember the first time I looked up something online using a cellular phone just to satisfy my curiosity. It was while talking to a girl I had been seeing (who is now my wife!) and realizing we both loved the movie My Big Far Greek Wedding (hint hint). Well remembered that the main character’s dad thought this blue cleaning spray was the cure for everything but we couldn’t remember the name (this was in Serbia, where Windex isn’t a household name). This was my moment to shine: I pulled out my trusty Nokia candy bar phone (can’t remember the series) and after a few minutes typing out a google search on the tiny keyboard we had our answer! The world was never the same.

Though I have to say moving to a cottage with no Internet or cellular access sounds appealing in 2026.
