## The story

Blinkstick antennas were the first thing teens bought after a new phone. They screwed onto the top in place of the plain stubby antenna, and every incoming call set off a rainbow light show. Movie theaters lit up like stadiums. Kids called each other in class just to make the antennas flash, which was against every rule and totally worth it.

## Fun fact

Some models flashed whenever any phone nearby rang, so crowded buses turned into rolling disco balls.
