I never was for telephones. Just don't like them, that's all. Anybody wants to talk to you, they can come to see you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like telephones.
When I grew up in India, telephones were a rarity. In fact, they were so rare that elected members of Parliament had the right to allocate 15 telephone lines as a favor to those they deemed worthy. If you were lucky enough to be a wealthy businessman or an influential journalist, or a doctor or something, you might have a telephone.
I don't have a telephone. If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't have one.
I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.
I don't even have voice mail or answering machines anymore. I hate the phone, and I don't want to call anybody back. If I go to hell, it will be a small closet with a telephone in it, and I will be doomed and destined for eternity to return phone calls.
I hate the amount of communication, the obligation that you have just by owning a phone.
You used to be able to just call people. You didn't have to be on someone's calendar to have a phone conversation. The telephone was an important and valuable domain of communication, both for casual, friendly chats and for professional exchanges of ideas and information. But no more.
The telephone is a 100-year-old technology. It's time for a change. Charging for phone calls is something you did last century.
Who wants to talk on the phone? If you want to talk to me, text me. Or if we must, let's meet in person.
The telephone is a good way to talk to people without having to offer them a drink.
