Telephones

Technology is amazing!  Think about how far we've come with cell phones alone.  I grew up with corded phones, rotary.  Kids have no clue what that looks like.  I remember what a HUGE deal it was to get a cordless phone.  I can still remember it.  We got an AT&T one.  There was this long, metal antenna I would pull out, and the sound was full of static.  The cool part was, that every once in a while, you would pick up someone else's conversation, and get to listen in.....but, then, it hit me, that someone else could be listening in on me!  I also remember when my Mother got her first "mobile" phone.  It had a battery the size of 2 telephone books, and a long shoulder strap so you could carry it with you.  We weren't allowed to use it though, because the service was so expensive!  And, now, not only are my kids growing up in a world where we always have a phone, no matter where we are, but now that I have a smart phone, my youngest is growing up in a world where we always have access to the internet and movies anytime!  Technology certainly is amazing!
