The only one missing is the dog, looking imploringly at the human, thinking "Would you get off that thing?"

(3,567 posts)Phone calls were taken more seriously by both parties. It could be a little like writing a letter. You loose something in being able to call people hands free at the grocery store.
Also, before cell phones and voice mail you did not screen calls. The phone rang and it was answered.
If you suddenly put someone from before cell phones in a cell phone world it would be very upsetting.
