The landline legacy: From pure trust to "WDYM?"

from The Jabber · host The Jabber

Remember when making plans meant hanging up the landline and just showing up? This week on The Jabber, we look at how communication has evolved from the "brick" cellphone era to a world of constant WhatsApp coordination. We explore the "death of the phone call," the struggle of decoding teenage acronyms, and why - despite our parental panics - the next generation is probably going to be just fine.
