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.

A phone.

Filed under: Hmmm

I was thinking about getting a phone for the place. A phone system for my home. It may sound strange that I don’t have one but, I haven’t had a home phone for years. Cell phone has always done very well. A cell works at home or anywhere else you might want to go. I have been considering picking up a phone for home now, though. It might be easier to have one and you can often just run it through your pc for little to no charge.

If I did, I would most likely get a digital phone. I don’t know much about them other than they sound a heck of a lot better than a regular phone. I like a lot of the features you can get with them now too. A digital wireless phone might be a good thing to have, that way when you got home you could even just forward all your cell cals to the home phone. I guess that would work both ways, when you are out you could forward calls to your cell that way you wouldn’t miss anything.

I said you wouldn’t miss anything, I didn’t say you couldn’t still ignore all those people you didn’t want to talk to anyway. I think everyone I know screens their calls anymore. It is just not worth the trouble, about the time you just answer, some idiot is trying to sell you something in the middle of dinner.

I learned my lesson a long time ago. Anymore if I don’t know the number then they can leave a message. And if it’s important they will, then I may give them a call back. I may not. Besides here you get charged when you answer or when you make a call so if I am paying for it then I am certainly going to want to be in control of it. Therefore, call screening. You can do the same with a digital home phone as I understand it, which would work out well, as long as it was one of those cordless phones.
