This seems like a dumb tiktok trend or some shit. It's hard to get by in this world without a cellphone
But I just wish anyone would still want to talk on the phone. I love chatting with friends for an hour or so on the phone but everyone hates it now. Quick random texts just feel so much less personal. Ah well
I still want to talk on the phone and I probably wouldn’t if it was like corded landline days when you were constrained to wherever the cord would reach. Cordless was freeing, and I’ll never go back!
There were cordless landlines for years. So you could go usually anywhere in the house or even into the yard a ways. But I can't think why anyone would want to use something like that when you have cell phones. Large, comfy form factor I suppose.
Newer ones aren't that large, but why bother when you have a cellphone always with you anyway
