The funny thing is my first phone was a Motorola microtac 9800x and my car had a five speed manual transmission and I never had a wreck in my life and hands free was not a thing. So someone please tell me how people forget how to drive with one hand on the wheel? Did people get dumber over the years are we going to become a race of people that needs a computer to tell them how to eat and clean their butts. Is the skills that made the human race what it was slipping away. I think one electric magnetic pulse would kill off most of mankind.

Even the TV shows that were on prime time TV were primarily what would now be knows as a "black" TV show, but back then I never thought of them that way. It is just strange and sad that things seem even more divided now. Yes, you see white suburban kids listening to rap now and you may see a show or two with mostly black casts on prime time, but are white people watching those shows and not thinking of them as "black" TV shows?

11:00 Your reaction to the StarTAC is - crazy - lol. At the time, "small and lightweight" was EVERYTHING. Phones were only a tool for voice calls, so the optimum phone was considered the tiniest thing on which you could dial a number and make a call. I was in middle school at the time, and my best friend's dad was a doctor. He got a StarTAC right as they came out. I remember one time he let me hold it, and that phone felt like the crown jewels or something. I mean I still distinctly remember the excitement all these years later. And you guys are like "meh, unimpressive" and throw it aside. That right there shows me however much things have changed with phones.

When the phone rang you lifted the suitcase and answered the phone. I also remember the car phones that fit onto your dash that were also featured in this video, the pager and of course the very first handheld cell phone. I also remember all the flip phones that first came too. I used to have a pink razor! In my 20s I knew people with Blackberry phones. I thought they were so awesome at the time, and the people that carried them. If you had a BlackBerry you were somebody cool! Lol It's pretty amazing how far we've come in technology.

Back in the days of Dynatec, cell phones were basically operating like radios( walkie talkies). The radios like the Dynatec would communicate with something similiar to a repeater site ,usually a radio tower. Today smartphones are radically different, but in essence smartphones and cellphones are a derivative of radios but with much weaker tx power and higher bandwidth( more data handling capacity.) Radios today still work the same way but with better coverage, very narrow bandwidth and a great emergency communications tool. Radios can communicate with each other and without infrastructure.

The "women's" phone looked like a compact with birth control pill buttons lol. Marques also didn't mention beepers went through a phase where you COULD send actual alpha-numeric messages. You had to call a number, speak with the operator who would type the message for you. My aunt once asked me to page my uncle and tell him to "buy milk". At the time, it was kind of embarrassing to ask the operator to send that message (since beepers were more business oriented), but the operator said she pretty much received all kinds of messages like that lol.

I'm reminded that I've never had a flip phone. My first was candy bar style in 1999, then a spinner. That's back when I had the same phone for years, so those lasted until my first smartphone in 2007.

Oh man, when Marques said "the fax is on its way" I was wondering if this was intentionally left there, the fact neither he nor anyone from the production team know that faxes were immediate shows how much we've come.
@stefsmurf5 жыл бұрын
That's not true. Faxes used to take time to appear on someone's machine, especially if it was a long fax, depending on how the message was transmitted. YOU are forgetting that faxes were INVENTED in the 19th century, and first were done via wired transmissions. If you've ever had to use a dial-up modem before, you'd know that things weren't immediate, even if it was just text, even in the 1980s.

No, faxes took quite a while to receive and were notoriously unreliable. Calling to follow up or confirm the receipt of a fax was typical. It was why most faxes have send receipts. Can someone not get your email, sure, but it’s much less likely.

Love these retro tech episodes. Owned everything he’s reviewed so far. I remember cruising around with my big brick phone to my ear talking to no one but thinking I looked cool. As well as pagers. You had to have those clipped to your pocket for everyone to see because you thought it made you look cool.

My uncle had a StarTac, it was one of the first real cellphones I had seen. A few years later, I actually transplanted it into an aftermarket housing when it was falling apart... it was hard but it worked. I miss the days when one could do that.

the star tac was the coolest phone at the time, it was one of the smallest and most compact phones and the first flip phone that kick started the trend of the flip phones, it's only the rainbow colour that made it look like a toy, but it's super dope, it deserves it's own dedicated video on retrotec in my opinion
