phones back in the day my day
phones used to be for phone calls
back in the day
my day
the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties
Now phones include word games
video games, emails, reference books
text messages, voice mail, websites
Terms we did not know yet back in the day
My day
In 1964 I would have never believed that I would someday
use a phone like George on the Jetson’s cartoon show
I thought that Zoom was laughable, a comical impossibility.
I could not have envisioned future I-phones back in the day.
Remember twisting the spiral cord attached to the wall, so you could sit on
the floor around the corner from your parents and
use their communal phone? I sure do!
