In appreciation of today's communication technology

See this large black phone .... that's what was installed in the hallway of the first house I lived it.  You could not unplug it or move it,  and my parents rented it.  Because of the cost homes had only one phone.  There was no way you could own your telephone.  It was expensive to use and long distance costs were prohibitive.See this grandma ... she is using a cell phone.  She can probably call anywhere in the world for no extra cost.  She annoys everyone because she expects that whomever she calls will have their cell phone with them and will answer no matter where they are and what they are doing.  

See these grandparents.  They are using the Skype program on their computer to visit with their grandchildren and children.  They never have to wait for pictures to arrive through the mail.  They can visit daily with their friends and family for no additional charge.  And all this is a bargain compared to that heavy black phone permanently attached in the hallway way back in the "?good ol days?"
