In fact it will do a million other things if I choose to download an app for it. Most people have a mobile phone nowadays, plus a landline used for calls and internet connection.


This set me thinking, in my liftime I have come from a period when not many houses had phones (my mother when she could afford a phone had a party line, this was a shared line with another house, who would put up with that nowaday) , and most people had to go out and find a red phone box.
This entailed putting 4 old pennies in the box and pressing button A, then if the person on the other end answered you pressed button B to talk to them.



So the question is, what part of modern life do you think has advanced your life the most, or what do you think should never have been invented.

Now come on Dave you pressed button A to conect, button B to get your money back if nobody answered
