In my case it's often fear of the inability to learn something different or new.<br /><br />Interesting you mention cancelling your landline. I worked for the phone company for a very long time and went all mobile in 2000 since I traveled a lot. I had kept a landline since it was free but it was forwarded to my cell phone. When I left in 2000 I just kept the cell phone and never looked back but I had no fear of phones or the internet for that matter since I had worked with the technology for so many years. Other technology and change?...not so easy. I chuckled recently when some friends "landline" went out and they had gone with cable company and called to report it. They didn't realize it was connected to the internet modem and wasn't really a "landline" at all but an "internet service" when they were asked to unplug and check it all out at the modem and cable tv box! <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!JR Snyder Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825473115986190389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421367977598373300.post-37272720917508434292012-05-13T03:22:12.273-07:002012-05-13T03:22:12.273-07:00Interesting thoughts on communication.

As I laugh at our learning to adapt to the change, I can't help but to think back to those holdouts in the 1940's that swore not to need a telephone in their house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
