The technological age. It is amazing to think that 20 years ago, what is now considered the norm, was astronomically futuristic to the point that many thought, we would not have survived beyond 1999. But let’s take a moment in time to say thanks for somethings we have in the 21st Century.<\/p>\n

10. WhatsApp<\/p>\n

\"8428824606_eeeaf680be_b\"<\/p>\n

Because the Lord knows that without this, phone bills will be high!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Facebook<\/p>\n

\"7272355466_54871a4fe1_k\"For the ability to be a Maco and a Bacchanalist\u00a0without other people knowing that you are.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and YouTube<\/p>\n

\"5209796269_23b3c744ca_b\"Because the\u00a0mainstream media cannot be trusted and half of those Politicians who got caught in some shady mess will still be in power. Not to forget that you can now become a celebrity in your own right.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Smartphones<\/p>\n

\"11691958644_22c36d5f52_k\"To track my significant other when they not supposed to be in San Juan by their ex and they lying! Yuh got tagged in pics!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. \u00a0BLU<\/p>\n

\"13054204353_0cf9cc263b_k\"Because spending $5000 on a smartphone makes no sense.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Instagram<\/p>\n

\"7624764146_6eecbb9cf2_k\"Instagram Models… (Yes they needed to be mentioned by themselves)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Job Vacancies<\/p>\n

\"8739101312_2283578b39_k\"Because buying a newspaper to check for jobs is tiresome.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Waze<\/p>\n

\"14096549911_335d7a521b_b\"Avoiding Police, when you on yuh last, and your insurance due.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"6983545613_a796b98925_k\"2. Online Shopping<\/p>\n

Getting the latest without flying out, although some people playing up in their 7%.<\/p>\n

1. Online Business<\/p>\n

For the ability to have the business you always dreamed about without paying rent for a commercial space.<\/p>\n
