00:00My first phone was a Nokia 3310. I didn't really have much going for it apart from Snake, which is the one I was playing.
00:09Obviously I use my phone now for taking pictures of the children, videos and social media. So it's very, very different to what it was back then.
00:18Well I like them both to be fair. The first phone I had was a great little Nokia, a little pocket one there.
00:23And today's phones are family around the world and they keep me in touch with everybody.
00:28So they've both got their pros and cons, but the benefits of the modern phone, even with its downfalls, are so good because I can speak to my family in Melbourne.
00:35I like the fact that your phone no longer resembles a brick, but the only gripe I've got is that the screens are just so useless to break.
00:43Oh yeah.
00:44Every time I so much as have it fall off of the setting, I'm like panicking of, oh my god, is the screen still okay?
00:51I think it was a flip-up phone. A flip phone and yeah, it was like pink, baby pink. I thought I was Barbie when I was home.
00:57Oh, them Motorola ones.
00:58Yeah, literally.
