When papa/gump and I were kids (maybe about Abby's age) we had black telephones that had wires to the wall and a dial on the front. We also shared a line with another family. It was called a party-line. We would pick up the headset from the base and listen to see if someone else was talking....the nice thing to do if they were, is hang up. When they were finished you could make your call by dialing 4 digits. Then the telephones lost the dial face and got touch tone (push buttons). They still had the wire from the headset to the base.,..then we lost the wire from headset to base and called it wireless (pretty original, huh) and then there's the cell phone. It used to be very big and was carried in a bag...now they fit in your ear! AND so to the pictures above. That's my iPod Touch....it does everything but the dishes and tonight I was able to talk to your dad/uncle David on an iPod. It was pretty cool and we'll be able to talk to anyone with Skype free from Italy...so get your Skype now! Technology is a wonderful thing...
