A young man and woman dated and were happy. They started their relationship on the eve of the cell phone revolution. For the first year on the eve of the release of personal mobile phones, they would talk three times a day if they were not together by payphone or work or home landline phones. It was always nice to hear from each other. The time was cherished and they trusted each other when not together. If he did not answer the home phone on the first ring, she knew he was likely to be home about one hour after football,karate or chinese food practises (everybody loves chinese food usually), so she would wait patiently for the return call. The numbers of the five most recent callers showed up on the phone with call display and the identi-call feature that was quite a technological revolution. You could call your girlfriend in due course and she could rest patiently with confidence knowing that you would be aware of her call. He got a cell-phone with his family one Christmas and it was quite exciting. She could reach him where ever he may be. It was exciting and a glorious work of uh uh uh technology. She stayed with him for the first six months of his cell phone usage but broke up inexplicably on the seventh month when new phone designs and features were advertised. They stayed apart for three months until he got a new phone with the new features. She called as soon as he got the new phone. After another six months, she broke up when more new phone designs arrived that offered games and some offered calender functions. He did not understand the reason. After breaking up, she called back as soon as he bought another new phone. After two months of no contact , she called the very evening of his new purchase. Another six months passed and more new phones were advertised that offered unique functions such as mp3 music playback. She broke up as soon as there was some news of the new product offerings. She did have a mobile phone for her own use. It was a present to his cousin as a mobile phone from the very first consumer phone offering and uh release. So, after observing some correlation, he decided to just buy her a phone advertisement in an old book store about future mobile technology and he said "...Stay with him. Marry the phone. He's new."
