The story of Overage Slider

Once you had an Overage Slider, typing on a regular number pad felt like writing with a potato. The screen slid sideways to reveal a tiny keyboard with keys the size of rice grains. Text messages flew so fast that parents got the bill and sat everyone down for a family meeting about something called overages.

Fun fact

Expert Slider owners could text under the desk without looking, which teachers somehow always noticed anyway.
