Remember way back when you had to be connected to a landline in order to make a phone call? Gather ‘round children, and let the old-timers share stories from our isolated, disconnected lives before cell phones were invented. Just imagine - if you wanted to talk to someone who wasn’t in the room with you, you had to use a bulky plastic handset with wires and cords hanging off of it. The thing only worked because it was physically connected by poles and wires to every other telephone on the planet, just like the strung-together cans that you may have played with as a young child. And forget about texting, snaps, and posting to the ‘gram – those things were technologically impossible back in the ancient days of landline telephones. But now, what would we do without them?
