I think I got my first cell phone in 6th grade (1997). Both my parents worked and I had a habit of locking myself out of the house. Since my dad worked nearby, they figured I could use it to call him if I needed him to open up. I walked home a lot too and had a few incidents where my parents felt a cell phone would be a good safety tool.
It's amazing how far technology has come.... the batteries used to die so quickly, they were big and chunky, no caller id, voicemail, pretty displays, cameras. it's crazy.
Now, I can't imagine myself without my cell phone.... it's what I use to stay connected with my family when I'm at school (free long distance, free nights and weekends, and the "IN" network).
