the dial tone sounds like an ear rape!

Just think, our grandkids will laugh at our "high tech" phones we are using today.

Was someone screaming the dial tone? WTH? I think this was really a game show to see who would die first in silence. The winner got to stay overnight. 5:20 I think we have a couple of winners!!

6:20 She lost the challenge of slap the slop outta him.

..We used the rotary dial until the 1980's! The was slow technology advancement!

@nrdesign1991, True That. Scientist are saying, that at the rate electronic technology is moving, causing everything to be made smaller and more efficient, that in about 100 years or so, Vaccinations will consist of Nanobots about the size of Blood Cells. These Nanobots will remain in the human body throughout a person entire life (Which will be then, on average, about about 150 years) Eradicating diseases and Viruses. Being sick, or getting sick, will be a thing our generation did.

@commonman80 Either that or the concept of "personal manufacturing" will come in use. That means everyone has a 3D printer that can assemble or "print" complete machines, decorative objects, or just about anything else simply by purchasing the plans from the internet and downloading them into the printer. That would even include the printer making replacement parts for itself, or to fully reproduce without the need of a production plant. The only remaining companies produce raws.

@nrdesign1991, I don't know. Once we figure out how to break down objects to the Atoms and its most basic structure, and reassemble it again to the original object. It will be no time at all before we're transporting them Via Fiber Optics across to World at the speed of light.

@commonman80 I won't be too soon, you still can't transfer wares via means of a computer.

This is great. It's great to see where we were, and where we are. Just think, soon ALL CALLS will be video direct calls where as you can talk to and view, multiple people at the same time, and that will be the standard. WITH OUT WIRES TOO. I mean, look what Email and Electric Fund Transfers are doing to The Postal Service. At the rate things are going, The Post Office will be obsolete.

I'd feel pretty disappointed every time I dialed a number. Sounds like an "incorrect answer" tone you'd hear on a gameshow.
