		<description><![CDATA[TM wrote, &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;green&quot;&gt;&quot;they’re still important in emergency situations where you need to connect right now&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.

I know that but for most people there are very rarely such emergencies. I am old and I have experienced an emergency that needed a phone only a few times and then, we could deal with issues one way or another. I was once hunting and fell through ice. I got cold and wet but managed not to die by keeping as warm as I could any way I could. There are emergencies that can take a life but the world will continue to spin even if that happens, so, a phone is not necessary ever. Humans survived millenia without them by being fruitful and multiplying to fill the gaps. Up North, I haven&#039;t had a phone for ages because in a real emergency, I could just call for help or use a phone at the school. Otherwise phones were a needless expense or an interruption. Most phone calls up there are people who have used their phone books for kindling needing directory assistance. &quot;Do you have Fred&#039;s number?&quot; is not welcome at 0300.]]></description>
