-

They became an essential part of the culture, even sparking a form of pager “code” for communicating with numbers and symbols. Unlike today’s smartphones, where ghosting and instant responses are common, pagers encouraged a slower, more deliberate form of communication, and the anxiety of being ignored was far less prominent.
