Bye Bye Old Timey Phones! I'll Sort of Miss You.

Out with the very old, in with the newish.

We always knew that someday landlines would be a thing of the past. But Verizon's CEO Ivan Seidenberg declaration that their company no longer concerned itself with saving their landline business, seems to confirm that telephones connected with wires are indeed a modern relic. This announcment, despite being rather obvious, does prompt a few questions for me. How long will tranditional phone service continue to be offered for? Will there ever come a time when they get rid of landline service completely and just force those Jitterbugs on seniors who never learned to use a cell phone?

Only the future will tell.
