Title: Unplugged Nostalgia: Reviving the Rugged Old Pagers

I'm feeling that old school vibe and wondering if anyone's still got their trusty ol' pager. I had a Motorola Pageboy back in the day and it was a staple in my life. Who else out there thinks we should bring back the simplicity of pagers in today's smartphone era?

Lol, pagers were so 90s. I still remember my first one, a Motorola StarTAC that my grandma actually thought was the coolest thing back then, not that she understood what it meant to get a "page". Guess some people really are nostalgic about that primitive tech

"Dude, I gotta admit, those old pagers were so cool. I had one back in the day and it was basically my lifeline - I could get paged anywhere, no phone needed. Kinda miss the nostalgia, but glad we have more reliable ways of staying connected now"

"Dude, I had a Motorola PageBoy in high school, it was a game-changer at the time. Still got it stored away somewhere, might dust it off just for old times' sake. Anyone else have a favorite pager model?"

"Dude, pagers are like ancient tech now! I had a few old buddies back in the early 2000s who still used them, but eventually they switched to flip phones and then smartphones. Kinda cool to see a revival of sorts, but I think it'll be a niche thing, not a full-on comeback"
