Most young people have never seen a telephone attached to a wall. Let’s face it, if all of us were suddenly confined to a phone cord that only allowed about 10 feet of space, we’d go crazy. What? We can’t talk on the phone while on the porch, in the back yard, or most importantly, in the car? What would we ever do with ourselves?
Not to mention this: as far as we know, no one listens in on our modern-day telephone conversations. (Let’s leave the NSA and the Russians out of this, because that’s another story.)
