26 - CATF Time Capsule: Cellphones

It’s our first “Time Capsule” ep and we are sooooo excited! We decided to go back through some older episodes and select a few gold mines of nostalgia to do a real deep dive on. First up: cellphones! Danielle teaches Steph all about the evolution of mobile phones from 1983 to current day, car phones, T9 texting, ringtones, the most addictive games and - of course - how critical it was to customize your phone to represent you as a person.
