BRING BACK THE CORD

Cell phones are a nuisance. 

Disagree?  

If you text (or surf the net) while driving, you're jeopardizing lives, including your own.

Bring back the cord.

Are you eating out with friends?

Dude reading a text at the table is not cool.

Your friends may think ."How Rude. What the hee?"

"You care more about a text than you do about me."

Bring back the cord.

Caregivers, please don't use your phone while assisting me.

It's written in my ISP.

Bring back the cord.

People with Bluetooth. 

That's so freaky. 

Talking to themselves. 

Having a party in their heads that I am not invited to.  

Why not? I'm a fun spaz. 

Bring back the cord.

Ah, phones attached to cords

Phone jacks for the cords.

The jacks went into the wall.

You could not take the phone anywhere at all.

 Bring back the cord

The twisty, curly cord from the receiver to the base with the rotary dial.

Thinking about it makes me smile.

You could wrap that twisty cord around your fingers.

Doing this kept the caller occupied when they were on hold.

Bring back the cord.

Phone numbers with a two-letter prefix

Party lines.

Wait your turn.

Be courteous.

That's what we did.

When I was a kid.

Bring back the cord.

Missed a call?.

They'll call back.

Bring back the cord.

You could only get calls at work if it was an emergency.

Bring back the cord.

People would not be zombies staring at a screen.

They would look one another in the eye.

Maybe even say, "Hi."

Bring the cord.

This cell phone generation doesn't know how to have face-to-face conversations.

Turn off your phones.

Talk to one another.

Bring back the cord.

I didn't have a cell phone by the time I was nine.

I turned out just fine.

Bring back the cord.

It will never happen.

This generation does not want to be tethered to a phone cord.

They want their news, their calls RIGHT NOW!

Or they get too bored.

Bring back the cord.

But what if they did?

Bring back the cord?

Ah well...

A girl can dream.
