History Lesson
Remember BlackBerry?
Before iOS and Android took over the mobile world, BlackBerry was the king of smartphones. Launched in 1999 by Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM), BlackBerry devices were revolutionary for their time. They introduced features like secure email, physical keyboards, and instant messaging, which quickly made them a favorite among business professionals and governments around the globe.
The BlackBerry Curve, Bold, and Pearl became status symbols. BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) was an early precursor to today’s instant messaging apps, creating a new way for people to communicate instantly and securely. By the mid-2000s, BlackBerry accounted for nearly 50% of the U.S. smartphone market and had an equally strong presence internationally.
But the launch of the iPhone in 2007 changed everything. Apple’s touchscreen design and app-focused ecosystem made BlackBerry’s physical keyboards and limited app options feel outdated. Android’s rise soon followed, offering customization and variety, which further eroded BlackBerry’s dominance.
Despite attempts to innovate with devices like the BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry 10 OS, the company couldn’t keep up with the rapid evolution of smartphones. By the 2010s, BlackBerry had largely faded from the consumer market, though it remains a nostalgic symbol for many and a reminder of how quickly technology can shift.
The story of BlackBerry is a testament to how innovation can lead a market—and how staying relevant means adapting to constant change.

Ask Your Parents About T9 Texting
Before smartphones made typing effortless with touchscreens and predictive text, T9 texting was the king of communication. Short for “Text on 9 Keys,” T9 allowed users to type out messages on old-school phones with numeric keypads. Each number on the keypad represented multiple letters, so typing required precision—and patience.
Want to text “hello”? You’d hit the 4 key twice for H, the 3 key twice for E, and the 5 key three times for L—twice. It was a workout for your thumbs, and mistakes were common if you didn’t pay attention. Predictive text helped speed things up, guessing words as you typed, but it wasn’t perfect. T9 texting turned “duck” into a frustratingly memorable alternative more times than anyone could count.
Despite its quirks, T9 texting was revolutionary in its time. It paved the way for how we communicate today, blending efficiency with technology to make staying connected easier—though we’ll stick to our full QWERTY keyboards; thanks!
