This may deserve it's own thread. Just something random I've been thinking about lately. How much different would it have been if smart phones were everywhere like they are today? If you remember, texting wasn't nearly as popular in 2005 as it is today. That was the only way I could keep in contact with my family because calls just weren't going through. Plus you have things like Facebook and Twitter now so information would've been everywhere.

I wonder for how many people that experience was the first time they ever texted. I know it was for me.

One of the few places you could text in Gulfport was at Hwy 49 and I10. You would see a ton of people standing on I10 texting their family.
