Do not call me
Media_httpwwwwatblogc_gvhbo

Less obsolete but more annoying than a handwritten letter, the phone call is fading as a mode of communication even if the nostalgic will be singing its praises for awhile. We reached a breaking point in 2008 when text messaging topped mobile phone calling in usage, and we have been living in a world dominated by text-based communication ever since.

Die, Phone Book, Die!

When was the last time you looked anything up in the phone book? No, I cannot remember, either. In which case, it is excellent news that the White Pages, a Brobdingnagian exercise in paper, chemical, and energy waste, is to be pensioned off. Ripped in two by twirly-moustachioed men in leopardskin leotards and then borne off to the great hamster cage in the sky.
