Is that a pager in the list? Reminds me of that mediocre film, London has fallen

Do you mean White House Down? That's the one where the pager was used.

^ This. I think he's mixing it up with Olympus Has Fallen.

Some of these like VCRs for instance are all dependent on the level of technological and financial advancement in each country.

As for pagers, it seems to be more convenient and more reliable than a cellphone sometimes for really short messages.

All they need is to reformat the floppy disc numerous times
