Interestingly, I often miss landline times, because with landlines it was a fair excuse to say you were out and weren't reachable, whereas in the cell phone era people tend to expect you to be always reachable, and I'm in vehement disagreement with that kind of expectation from anyone other than an SO or close family member.
