Life before smartphones, I'd bring a laptop to the bathroom, before that, I'd bring newspapers/books, and before that, theres radios.

Edit: Yea I don't know when radios were invented, I always assumed they were like ancient. Too depressed to think lol.

Oh I'm not that old lol, just saying that's what I'd do if I lived in that era.

What I was more confused on was how there were radios before newspapers and books.

Idk my depressed brain can't think for the moment. I was always told that radios are old af and since I've seen newspapers and tv existing at the same time but rarely used radios, my dumbass brain automatically assumed that radio is the predecessor of both newspapers and tv.
