Evolution of Communication

Kyle Bean.Cell phones [1]

Over the weekend, a friend called. This is something out of the ordinary for us, and in fact, the last time he phoned it was to tell me that a mutual acquaintance had been diagnosed with breast cancer. When I saw his name show up on my caller ID, I had a momentary flash of concern. It turned out he just wanted to chat. When did it happen that phone calls became quaint likeĀ letter writing or sending birthday cards by mail?
