Did the Art of Conversation Die with the Landline?

Are you old enough to remember a world without cell phones or text messaging - where the only phone you had was attached to a wall in your house, most likely in your kitchen, and if you wanted a private conversation you needed to stretch the phone cord all the way into the bathroom and shut the door.  

You’d think with all the advances in cellular technology that we would be better at communicating with each other - but the opposite is true. The original definition of the word phone comes from a Greek word meaning “distant voice”. But we very rarely use our voice when we use our cell phones, we generally use our phones to send emails or texts, sometimes texting someone who is in the same exact room as us instead of using our own voice to communicate with them.
