  complaint. Why can't I never reach you on
the phone?</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Ah, I know. I'm really bad with my
  phone. I hate the phone. I can not stand the
  phone. I hate talking on the phone, so I have
  a hand-held phone and I always go and put it in the closet and I
turn it off.</p>
<p><strong>Simon:</strong> Oh, really? Yeah, you said hand-held. I usually call it a
  cell phone or a mobile phone but well, I mean these days
  everybody has one so I think they're quite useful actually. You
  can call people when you want and you can call people who you
want. You don't have to pick up like you don't sometimes, it's..</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> See the thing is if somebody calls me, right? And I see that
  they called me, I feel really guilty for not calling them back or not
  answering the phone if I'm very busy, so I don't want to feel guilty
so I just turn off the phone and put it in my closet.</p>
<p><strong>Simon:</strong> Well, I guess that's why you like land lines because you
  can pretend like you didn't hear it or that you weren't home at the
time.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Exactly, I really miss the old style phones. The old phones
  that would ring and you'd have to walk over and pick up the
phone. I thought those were great.</p>
<p><strong>Simon:</strong> You know what, I think that you're just not going with
  progress. The old style, life has changed yeah. We use
  technology every day and this is just the next step you know,
  being able to communicate at all times, anywhere and anyhow
and we're using technology right now.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>That's true. I mean, obviously I have my website. I'm very
  into computers. I love e-mail. I love Internet telephone like Skype
  but there's just something about hand-held phones that I don't
like. I don't know why. I just don't like them.</p>
<p><strong>Simon:</strong> OK. Well, let's agree to disagree.</p></div>]]>
