Last episode - cellphone use - how ironic
Elaine and Jerry use a cellphone. There's a bit about how calling on the street is bad etiquette for a serious phonecall to a friend.
Its interesting that the show that captured and discussed so much about 90s culture, captured what would be a huge transition in the next five years. In 1998 cellphones were still considered a business phone, but by 2003 I'd say the shift had occured to them being more of a social tool with most people owning one and spending money on fun ringtones.
Because they mentioned cellphone etiquette in a social setting, Seinfeld might have been the first to mention this in sitcom history.
The only jokes about cellphones I remember before thi on tv s is jokes about a phone ringing and business people all reaching for their phone...(hilarious 😒)
