1950: Heed the calls, make the calls.


March 23, 1952:
Dear god, As i sift through these pages, I see the phone's presence and influence growing exponentially from its meager beginnings. I watch my neighbors through the window and see them not talking to each other but instead waiting until one is done with the phone before using it himself. I live in front of a diner so I can also snoop in to see the daily events in there. Since they've installed that God-forbidden public phone in there too (as if we didn't have enough around), I see more and more people going there alone to just order a coffee and talk to the phone.. What is our world heading to?..
