I did not mash anything together. I was around then. Nokia did not innovate cameras or GPS, so it’s a useless example. In fact, I never even owned one: Motorola, Kyocera, Panosonic…
Yes, it’s almost impossible to get lost nowdays and it’s different than it was then. I do not disagree with your main sentiment, just the categorical portrayals
So you owned an uncommon phone with uncommon features in 2002, and youre using this to assert that these features were common at the time?
At a time when only 20-30% of people had cellphones, having one of the 5% of those cellphones with a camera or GPS was pretty uncommon. It means at any given point, less than 1% of people would be able to take your picture, much less post it to the “nowhere” that was social media at the time.
First of all, not “an” but several, and secondly, I did not assert anything like that. I told you I agreed. I was just pushing against the firm “no” and "none"s you were throwing out.
