Texting, am I right?
Do you ever wonder how texting could’ve impacted history? Specifically, 90s history. Maybe the Y2K bug could’ve rested on a chainmail text message which you had to forward to 10 friends or all your devices would become infected by midnight. Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky’s affair could’ve been exposed a lot sooner if he accidentally messaged ‘U up? x’ to Hillary by mistake. Diana and Charles could’ve decided to get divorced via texts rather than in person. Then Charles could’ve saucily texted Camilla rather than having his steamy phone calls intercepted.
It’s likely that we all would’ve texted our friends and family complete garbage in the 90s, much like we do today, but with very different points of reference.
For no reason other than hitting those sweet nostalgic SEO results, I’ve mocked up some 90s text messages we all would’ve probably sent.
Relive the magic.
