60 years ago, I remember we had a party line.

Jump to today and all the great technology we have and I've had 2 calls dropped on me today. One on my cell and the other on my home phone.

Of course in those days a long distance call cost a pretty penny. $110/month for my cell and only $29/month on my bundled home phone today.
