All majority of 2000’s kids probably know about phones today is iPhones and Android smartphones. This may also trickle down to late Kenyans born in 90’s. Back then, there were no smartphones or some fancy gadgets to use for communication. The phones used were crude and heavy, with an iconic antenna for signal search, a very tiny screen, and big buttons.
