“You’re overboard there, there is just no comparison between the old land line phone system and cell phones.”
You can send a picture and text by Fax. There are cordless phones. Caller ID will let you refuse a call and even block
them. The fact is you can call someone and talk to them and
you say that is “no comparison”?
And you think I’m overboard? Get real, it’s just a stupid article.
I’m referring to the OLD land line phone system which basically is almost nonexistent now. Maybe you’re not old enough to remember it. There were no cordless phones even forty years ago, are you trying to draw a comparison between cordless and cell phones? That doesn’t even compute. There was no caller ID or phone blocking etc. until very recently. The first answering machine I ever saw was sold in 1970, was as big as a large suitcase and cost six months wages for someone with a good job. People often refer to VOIP phone service now as a “landline”. I hardly know anyone who has a REAL landline phone now. It was voice only, nothing else. You will have to admit one thing anyway, you could not take it with you everywhere you go so you couldn’t have young people sitting three feet apart and texting each other as many do now. When young people tell me themselves that they don’t know how to sit and carry on a face to face conversation I have to believe something has changed.
