It's tough to remember now given the constant barrage of technology news, but in the late 2000s, people talked about 3G the way we're used to hearing about 5G today. Carriers and phone makers bragged about it as cutting-edge, a way of enabling things never before dreamt of on a phone. And they were right, to a degree -- on 2G, browsing the simplest webpage can be excruciating, never mind using an app like Google Maps. Without 3G, smartphones would've been little more than Palm Pilots beyond Wi-Fi range. Palm Pilots were PDAs, for those of you under 30. And no, PDA doesn't stand for "personal displays of affection" in this case.
