Free Range by Bill Whitehead for August 23, 2019

No doubt, your mom will be happy, that device is no longer between your fingers.

Your mom sounds like a broken record.

A whaaaattt?

What app is a party line?

That kid has got to stop streaming all those old westerns.

Salient observation. Will the phrase “hang up the phone” go the way of “get up and change the channel”?

I’ll wait for other interpretation of this….Oy

Now look up why it’s still called “dialing” a number on the phone. Gads I’m old.

a lynch mob vs a cellphone

an idea whose time has come

Like “dialing” a number..kids have no idea how to do that.

Not if it’s her phone.

Am I totally out of it? Everyone I know “dials” numbers (even though it’s done with a touch screen) and “hangs up” (even though it’s done by pushing the red icon).

Because decapitating your phone would be too messy.

Reminds me of Charlie Brown’s kite.
