Once among the most ubiquitous pieces of technology on Earth, old school, wired-and-jacked telephones are disappearing. In 2019, only about 31% of American households still had a landline, where 97% of U.S. adults own a cell phone. But are we being a little hasty here?

The internet is full of interesting and important information just waiting for you to read it.
