Friday Funnies




I still have one of these toy phones.  Amazingly enough the granddaughters as toddlers all knew what it was.




There must be a new neck ailment associated with looking at cell phones.



Or calling on weekends because it was cheaper.  Or having to use area codes only for long distance dialing.




Thank you Marilyn, for sharing these with me.

The technology changes so quickly. I must admit that my current phone takes pictures much better than the one that I had 70 years ago.

So funny! And yes, there is a neck ailment from bending your head to look at screens. Knitters and hand stitchers learned how to raise their work. Now screen users are catching on.

I think I still prefer the Fisher=Price phone, or at least the wall phone. I miss slaming the phone down if a caller perturbed me. Linda in Kansas

Love these, but a sad reflection on society really.
