Connections.
Filed under: Hmmm
Phones make life so much more connected. That is probably a redundant statement, but true regardless. It is a bit of an oxymoron that they make things more connected but they way they make everything more connected is by taking away connections. Yep, the best part of the connectionless connections is the lack of a connection. Think about cell phones and cordless phones; who doesn’t love those? Well, other than those who get a lot of crank or those sales calls. They still make those easier, though. Think about it, because if you are receiving a lot of calls on a connected line you have a lot of walking to do. Back and forth, back and forth. However, with digital dect cordless phones or cell phones you carry the connection with you and don’t have to do anything when you get those types of calls other than lift your hand and answer. This gives you more time to think about the proper words to use when you answer them, if you do. You might, instead decide that it is better to ignore them entirely. I wouldn’t blame you.
What is great with cordless phones and cell phones among other things, is the choices we have. There are so many different cordless phones that we can choose from that it sometimes makes the choice somewhat difficult. Everything from ATT to BT Elements, depending on what country you are in and even then it probably doesn’t matter much as many phones and phone providers are available in multiple countries. Even if they aren’t available you can often use their phones in a different country. I would definitely check whether it would work first though, because I have run into trouble a couple of times when trying to use a phone in another country, but most of the time they seem to work. The best part is still the cordless part, the mobility can really free us up to explore and still remain in touch with those we wish to remain in touch with.
