A rapper went to prison for 5 years, and here's the technology he couldn't believe when he got out. Rapper Lil Boosie, 32, spent five years in Louisiana State Penitentiary after pleading guilty to drug charges. But when he was released in March 2014, the outside world was a different place. Lil Boosie went to prison in 2009, but Instagram and FaceTime didn't launch until 2010, making the technologies the most mind-blowing things the rapper has seen since his release. I was surprised when I looked on my iPhone and you could look at people and talk on the phone at the same time, he told TMZ after his release.
