#1 Beepers

Beepers also known as pagers are a simple telecommunications device used for short messages. These devices are set at a particular frequency in order to enable one receive messages of a few digits or even a number to which the user will call back to.

Today beepers may seem sadly unnecessary. But there are about 36 million beepers still using them regularly. Apart from the obvious clientele like drug dealers and cops pretending to be drug-dealing kingpins, many regular citizens use beepers as they could be an inexpensive alternative to costly cell phones.

For those who ignore calls or messages, the beeper isn’t a good excuse. It makes sure to see whether you have received the information or not. A beepers battery life even lasts longer than a cell phones and is believed to never even die fast.
