Less than a decade ago we refered to "home telephone", "work telephone", "public telephone' - these descriptions are pretty much history.
Instead of a phone being in a "place" where you go to use it, our bodies are now the "place" for phones.
No longer do you need telephone wires hooked up to your house - look outside your house you probably have a few dead telephone wires hanging around.
And if you are homeless - like two friends of mine who I have met over the holidays - you must have a cell phone because without a "home phone" you will go completely off the map - not only will you be homeless, you will be disconnected.
Image Bonaire WI 2004 - about 7 public phone booths in a row - remember making a telephone call on a warm summer night from a phone booth like this? Perhaps you were at camp as a kid....very nice ambiance.
