20 years ago, no one owned a smart phone. And most people still didn't have cell phones or a laptop.

20 years ago, no one owned a smart phone.

The handspring visor, one of the first smartphones, was released in 2000. I owned one, although a few years later and second hand.

It still works too, except the phone part is 1g only, so there's no network for it any more.

OK, almost no one owned a smart phone.
