THEN they speed-up.

This age of technology and gadgets are getting more exciting and challenging. We have started with fax machines and now we are into IPOD and cell phones that do everything including being a television receiver.

BUT we are still using our mouth for speaking and our ears for hearing. Two simple tasks that sometimes are overtaxed and I am sure you have all experienced the situation I am to explain.

You received a voice mail on your cell phone or a message on your home answering machine. For some unknown reason this call is important and you listen to the message carefully as the caller speaks slowly and methodically giving you all the information and the information that they need you to call back with in order to take care of this life saving situation. The message goes on for a long time and finally the person asks you to call him at the ~~~~~~~~~~~ number. The number that is the most important part of the message after five minutes of falling sleep listening to the caller repeat himself ten times is said in speed of light. All you get from the number to call is one or maybe two digits. Here you have to listen to the message over and over again in order to decipher the speed of the light numbers and after exhaustion you do not even give a hoot about the urgency of the call. You are ready to strangle the caller for not taking the time to slow down when he gets to the number.

Here is the way to leave your number so you would create friends rather than evil caller that you will be called. At the beginning and end of your call give your name and phone number. This way they do not have to listen for the whole message all over in order to get the phone number. Make your message is short and to the point, since you are asking them to call back, you will have time to have a one on one experience. When you get to leaving your number: please call me at “pause” slow down and say the area code “pause” slow down and say the 3 digits of your number “pause” slow down and give the last 4 digits of your number.

By doing this you have become the noble man of the phone circuit.
