I was thinking that too, but at the same time I'm glad those days are over. I don't miss that at all.
I was thrilled that my ISP/Cable company didn't try to sell me their "TV and Phone" bundle because they understood the absurdity or could tell by my voice and interests that I wouldn't be interested or the target audience.

If they were all crap, you could start your own with a t1 to connect to the internet, and another t1 (or less) to answer calls. If your phone company was crap, you were kind of stuck, but they usually weren't too bad.

- brutuscat 6y agoI’m also very happy. I was reflecting about the speedy nature of tech changes. Now no one “remembers” land lines AF of these were from there 50s or before (I guess they are?). What’s next? Currencies? Over the air tv? Gasoline? What things that we take for granted will disappear, obsolete 20 years from now?
