Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond.

And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast. You can make an appointment to speak with me.

Just head over to commando.com. And on the top right, there's a button that says email, Kim.

Fill that out. And that's it. I always like to kick off the show with something really fun and interesting.

And now, do you have a piece of old technology that you're like, oh, I just used to love this

little gadget.

Why just to love it?

Love, love, love it.

All right, I was a big fan of the Palm Pilot, but you know what really has captured the hearts

of many?

The pager, you remember that? Now, for all of you,

Gen Z and millennials, it was this little black box that you clip on your belt, has this little

black and white screen, and all it does is show you messages. You can't even reply. And when you

get a message, it vibrates and it makes us sound like beep, beep, beep. Now, here's something really

crazy. The country's

leading paging company, Spock, has reported that there are still approximately 800,000

pagers in use today across the United States. Wow. And that sound, today it might be confused

with somebody just backing up. It's kind of a crazy thing when you think about. Mostly

doctors are still using them and people like in oil fields in case you're wondering. Hey, you're about

ready to get more tech smart because every single thing now is a tech thing, right? And I'm Kim

Commando, America's digital goddess. She found the biggest show, the most trusted show about all

things digital. And I need you to do two things to help me out.
