One important piece of hardware used during this time period, the pager. Pagers are initially popular but ultimately are replaced by mobile phones toward the end of the decade.

2008, on the other hand, seems to be going alittle differently. By wait, there's still hope. The 90s may be making a comeback. Check it:
