Growing Up Without Cellphones

Subject: Re: Growing Up Without Cellphones Mon Feb 02, 2015 7:35 pm

I use the desktop, laptop, a tablet, and my phone. I still have a landline as AT&T won't let you have internet without home phone service in our area. It sucks, but that's what I live with since they have the cheapest high speed service in the area. They are also much more dependable than our local cable company.

I'd keep calling since Verizon/Frontier used to be that way but aren't anymore.

When I switched to AT&T's U-Verse, the digital landline is packaged with it. They don't offer a package without it. The good thing is now that if the home phone rings I know that it is a sales call. Very few people call my house--they call my cell phone.

Not directly on subject here, but this thread made me think of the lyrics from Tesla's "MP3":

Everything that's known to man
Got it right here in the palm of my hand
It's all a part of the master plan
One push of a button and you'll understand
All you get is the information
Censoring the situation
Oh my God it's taking me
From the phonograph record to the MP3
All the world is overrun with Technology
Oh my God it seems to me
We've gotta get back to Simplicity
All the world's out of touch with reality
I can't believe
Honest values of family
Come straight from the heart
Like the blood we bleed
And Reachin' out to a friend in need
Means more than a text from a cell phone screen
All these sounds of complication..
In the cloud communication..
Oh my God it's taking me
From the phonograph record to the MP3
All the world is overrun with Technology
Oh my God it seems to me
We gotta get back to Simplicity
All the world is outta touch with reality
It's plain to see
Rewind Now!
I Can't believe, MP3
