In several ways such as reliability and call quality, land lines from several years ago are a far superior technology to current cellphones.
Of course most landline calls today go through dubious VoIP links and poorly maintained copper infrastructure, which is why I qualify with "from several years ago."
- Eupraxias 4y agoWere it not for this, I would go back to the landline that I enjoyed until recently. It regularly strikes me as absurd that quality was so much better on an old landline. It's an odd trade-off for which I would never have voted. Even still, my main complaint is over the loss of minor things like pay-phones. I think I'll always bemoan the idea of a telephone number being associated with a person, rather than a location.
