Martin Cataluña's Media Timeline

  • Mobile Phone

    Mobile Phone
    My mom's phone, nokia 1100 is a very old device. It comes from an age in which phones were only used to call and send/receive text messages. Having a black and white display. At four years old, I used to throw, slam, and chew on my mother's phone but don't worry, I did not provide eternal rest to it, 'cause it's NOKIA! It's NOKIA! It was possible to set the ringtone, browse some drawings included by default, play a few pre-installed games(The snake game was the most iconic!).
