WATCH: People fail miserably to use predictive text on noughties flip phone

Fail whale!

If you were a youngster in the noughties you'll most certainly have been a dinger at predictive text.

Also, if you were a part of a cool crowd you will have had a flip phone.

Well things have moved on since then and the majority of us have successfully learned to text with the various new smart phones available.

T-Mobile has sponsored a video to see if people could remember how to use predictive text on their old T9 flip phone after just a few years of texting in a new way.

Having been confident at the outset, it is fair to say our subjects fail spectacularly to write out a simple predictive text in under a minute.

Oh, the good old days!
