"But I never do. I love my telephone, but I hate telephones.
I hate the peremptory summons their ring heralds, the interruption by anyone who cares to do so. I hate the unforgiving silences, unnoticible in person but which on the phone invites either babble and inanity or curious awkwardness. I hate the lack of visual clues, the small yet pestering worry that the other person is at that very moment skewering their eyes out with boredom at my idea of light, urbane chat. I hate wondering if anyone I might care to call might resent the interruption as much as I probably would. "
