Yeah, but the short term app wasn't used yet. People just called them applications or programs. English is not my native language so idk how it was in US or UK exactly.

I think it lasted like a week for me, because phones were only used for calling and texting. Rarely someone may have played snake for a bit.

Oh but I remember smoke signals

I remember when there were no ''apps'' whatsoever, but rather applications, and my phone didn't even have colors besides green and black.
