@perspicacious I don’t totally agree with that. I’m not TOO young to remember land lines. Just to young to remember the cost!
I remember saying “I’ll call you when I get home,” as opposed to just calling someone and saying what’s on your mind when it’s on your mind. Having to walk a mile or more if you ran out of gas or blew a tire (as opposed to staying put and calling a friend or Triple A) I remember looking like a doofball trying to find someone when it’s time to meet up. Now you can just call someone when you arrive somewhere, and you can corroborate plans on the fly, not before you leave, a ½ hour or more before an event, giving time for potential changes and no way of communicating those changes.
My grandma still has a land line, and of course a land line will provide a more reliable, and quality product, but the benefits cellular communication has provided, unlike McDonald’s, which provides little to know benefit whatsoever (other than the immediate gratification of feeling full) are evident.
The problem is greediness, charging $75 a month, for a service equivalent to that which my sister is paying $40 a month for!
