Phone

I realized yesterday how my relationship to my land line phone has changed. I don't mind giving out that number, because I rarely use it anymore. We mostly get nuisance calls (charity solicitations). Rather, my email address has become the fiercely-guarded information. I am online pretty much all day (except when we lose the connection like today) so my friends can contact me at all times. I regard the phone as a noisy appliance which I mostly ignore. I feel awkward using the phone when I can email more efficiently, to more people, regardless of time… The future is now.
