I get it .. but no one needed a hand held cell phone before 1973 and no one needed a smart phone before 2007. Now, almost everyone has a smart cell and land lines are dying. Technology moves forward. People want integrated cloud, container, SDN technology, etc. Used a VCR or Cassette Player lately?
I have no intention of *ever* getting an annoyaphone - I'm online all day at work, before I go to work, and most evenings, in front of a *real* computer. My cell's a flipphone, and I *LOATHE* texts... because the protocol was developed for freakin' pagers, and after a job 20 years ago, I don't EVER want that again.
And my land line phone has *much* better voice quality than any cell/mobile.*
And yes, I very happily have my VCR, for all the tapes I have, and a good dual cassette deck (OK, I do want to burn them to disk... along with my 200-300 vinyl records...oh, that's right, vinyl's coming back. <g>
