Victoria Barranco: I really, really miss the headphone jack.

Nich Carlson: I really, really like AirPods,

and so I'm OK with the headphone jack being gone.

Jacqui Frank: Also I have a headphone jack now,

It wasn't the No. 1 reason that I decided to do that,

but the headphone jack was important to me.

Barranco: Now I've got this stupid dongle

and I'm not buying into the whole AirPods things, I refuse.

Frank: I mostly use Bluetooth headphones,

If my headphones were dead and I also wanted

to charge my phone, I could never do that,

and I don't like being in that situation.

Barranco: It's just the security of knowing,

it's not gonna, like, go rolling down the subway

or something. It's like, OK, still attached to my phone

Carlson: Remember how you would, like, move your arm

and just knock the earphones out of your ears?

And then sometimes you'd get them caught on a door handle

If we had to sacrifice the headphone jack

to get AirPods, which I don't think is what we had to do,

but if that's what we had to do, then it was a great trade.

Frank: I just don't understand why tech companies

want us to choose. Like, just give us what we want.

we asked for headphone jacks. It's so simple.

Carlson: We got rid of the headphone jack

so that Apple could sell more iPhones and AirPods.

I know that a lot of people are very upset about it,

Danielle Cohen: AIM was an instant-messaging platform.

Wait, now, it's like, da-ding! Like, what was it like?

I feel like I would, like, try to flirt with him

Cohen: I actually had maybe four AIM usernames.

Paige DiFiore: colesprouse4ever with the 4. That was me.

Appolonia: cheerdivaAl12. I wasn't a diva.

I don't know why that was part of my screen name.

William Antonelli: swordscape40, because that was the name

I'd be like, "I don't like you Taylor Swift,"

Something ridiculous, as if they would see

Frank: Insert whatever, like, emo song was popular

when I was 12, and that was definitely part of it.

Carlson: People definitely expressed themselves

Cohen: At my school, it was really important

that you put in, like, all the names of your friends

Oh, yeah, I moved people off my best-friends list

Cohen: And sometimes, you know, they would, like,

let a girl know you didn't make the cut anymore

by taking her out of everyone else's AIM profile.

Abby Tang: AIM was the best way to get bullied.

and then they would, like, start saying nasty things.

DiFiore: I probably have catfished people on AIM.

Ortakales: After school got out, it's like,

that's how you could talk to your friends.

Antonelli: We would go home, like, immediately, get on AIM,

and start talking to each other, like, for hours.

Appolonia: I remember that adrenaline rush,

to see, like, what my crush might have said,
