The very first commercially available cell phone was the DynaTAC 8000X. It hit the market in 1984.
It took 10 hours to fully charge and the battery only lasted 20-30 minutes.
It cost $3,995, equivalent to $11,253 in today’s numbers.
It weighed 4.4 pounds.
Are you this old? 😳
@Rabidcow1 we wouldn’t go visit another county and walk around flying our flag, but we can sure front the bill for some. we kick our veterans out of hotels on the street to make room for others?I’m all for helping, but we are in financial debt neglecting others to let more people in? 🤦♀️
We went out last night and watched the Northern Lights! The BEST show we have ever seen! If you don't know what this means to us, let me explain. There is a story about how when Siberian Huskies pass away, they go over the Rainbow Bridge, but they are not happy there. . . You know what, here let me get the story for you to just read.
"The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head. There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go.
Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs. A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings; that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master's arrival.
The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail....
There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball.
But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Siberian's journey continues....
Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run.
This is where Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge.
They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete. Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. All the Siberians raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds.
There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many colors and silver ones like the first strange hour before light. They line up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored streak.
The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again.
The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all the Siberians dwelling beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy.
The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings in the northernmost parts of this Earth:
The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

@angjoli2@YucatecDj@__Iloverussia__ Yeah wish they would let me leave it’s embarrassing to be an American now. :( I wish that I could leave. We do not at all stand up for what’s right, and if you do you’re locked up or tortured.
