Absolutely agree here. Voice communication over phones has degraded so much in the last three decades. I think one of the big factors is that it's pretty much impossible for two people to talk at the same time. It's like being on a radio... "Hey, how are you? Over." "Oh I'm just fine, how are you? Over." The quality of a typical cell call is leagues below what you got with POTS and a cradle phone.

Remember when someone (damn, wish I could remember who it was exactly) predicted that Seattle would have no restaurants within 5 years? LOL Just outright idiocy.

Government would be a whole lot easier in general, if more people could just apply basic common sense to it on a regular basis.
