0:00.0	Well, let's talk about the phone.
0:05.0	Does anyone remember a time when phones were attached to walls?
0:10.0	Think about it.
0:11.0	Growing up in my home, we did not have fancy phones. We had those big bricks that were in the corner of the living room next to the TV attached to the wall. And I can remember being young when it would
