Many have called the telephone an indispensable tool. But telephones today come in many guises and the two we use in our home are both slowly losing the telephone popularity contest to more modern designs.
This GE-made landline telephone has been constantly in use in our home for decades. The only problem encountered is with the coiled cord attaching the telephone to its receiver. The cord eventually gets tangled and fails
.
As of a few days ago, we are down to one telephone. The cord on one telephone has failed. Worse, we are finding replacing the coiled cord today is quite difficult. With fewer and fewer people using landlines, the demand for replacement coiled cords is drying up.
The telephone as a tool is needed more today than ever. But the original landline models may almost disappear at some point in the near future. Telephone technology has moved on and the telephone tool of yesterday may be the door stop of tomorrow.
