Do You Still Use a Landline?

Reports sayless than halfof U.S. households are equipped with land line . I remember when a landline was the best affair that ever befall to me . Do you still have one ? What do you expend it for ?

Getting my own land line for AOL connectivity in 10th grade was the ultimate teenage triumph . Only the nerveless kids and the other cyberspace obsessives had their own line ( guess which I was ) . My need to be on the growing worldwide web intend our theatre telephone set was almost always meddling .

The stalk that broke my short mother ’s back was when I sabotaged her telephone , which lit up to indicate when it was in - use . I convey an awl and a power hammer to the tiny blink spark that let her jazz I was still online at 2 am ( peradventure she would n’t notice ? I was 16 ) . I was undercoat without accession for a long while . But for my birthday that year , the dream came straight , and I received a landline for calling up the net . I have n’t slept since .
