I still have a land line, and it’s still the number I give out if people really want to reach me. I also have a land line at work. We do have cell phones, but we think of them as for emergencies, and we use prepaid plans, or minimal plans.
It seems so expensive to buy cell phone time. You can get unlimited minutes on landlines for like 25 dollars a month, but it costs at least 50 bucks a month for a cell phone with unlimited minutes—plus, it only works for one person.
However, it seems like most people don’t see it this way. Especially young people are used to having cell phones. Leading more peripatetic lives, they need them.
I wonder what people will do if they want to have multiple people on one call? Will they conference everyone in? Or will they use computers for that?
Well, things change, and people will do what is most useful to them. I think my computer will likely become my phone in the future. It can do video as well.
