And this same thing could be said about something as commonplace as copy machines. Copiers have been around for so long now that people no longer view them as a "new-fangled" contraption the way cell phones are viewed, but once upon a time offices survived without them and you know what else they survived without? Hundreds of pointless copies of everything. Once only important documents were copied. Nowadays copying is so convenient that a secretary will make thirty copies of a notice reminding employees not to abuse the copier. Does anyone ever say: Well, we survived without the copy machine once...? The world moves forward. And the world now is almost dependent on cell phones. I mean, have any of you guys ever actually tried to find a payphone in today's modern world? I think you should start looking out for them. You'll be amazed by how many empty payphone booths you'll find.
