      That’s right dear, a superior subspecies of our ancestors had headphone jacks, but they were forced into extinction by courageous product managers.

        External antennas!

        Removable batteries!

        Several days, or even a week, between charges!

        They had to switch to buttons because men had trouble calling numbers beginning with 9.

      Back in the day, “Snake” and a T9 keyboard was all we had.

      We programmed ringtones from magazines - Through dialpad input, for goodness sake!

      Even by 2011 standards, the cartoonist was already behind on the times. Everyone had an iPhone or Android phone by then. There were still plenty of Blackberry, Symbian (Nokia), and Windows phone users around too, and those brands were all moving towards buttonless designs as well by 2011.
