Clear craze.

As in technology. Translucent gadgets were all the rage. Not quite one word, I was going to go with translucent, but found it actually had a name.

Like the translucent (still corded, so not that hi-tech) phone with the bright colors for all the components? I had one of those! I think the outer part of my cord was actually clear, too.

Ooh, and that dope clear pager was hella rad!

On that note, remember payphones?? (getting paged by my mom and having to find a payphone to call the family 800# and check in...)

You should take a look at the Nothing Phone if you still dig that aesthetic.

Oh yeah! I have actually seen that (well, Phone(1) anyhow). I think it's on my short-list for after my Pixel6a! Thanks for bringing it back to my attention ๐Ÿ˜
