Remember the phone used to ring out of the blue and we would have no idea who was calling?

@davidho But it didn't ring as often. We know who's calling/texting now, but it's a non-stop barrage of commercial interests and demands.

@davidho

and ... people answered by either saying their name or saying their number and if it was a business, by following on with 'how can I help you?'

@davidho

It made my step-daughter crazy when I would ignore it.

"You don't know who it is!!"

"Correct. Therefore I can ignore it."

"But someone wants to talk to you!!"

"Does not mean I want to talk to them."

@davidho Hollywood is still in the 90s those. Characters are frequently surprised when they realise who is ringing!
