Cordless Phones
The technological advances in cordless phones are expanding the distance that the handsets can be from the base units. Unlike the cordless phones of just a few years ago, these new designs can reach across the road, into the neighbor’s home and still be as clear as any corded phone or VoIP phone.
There are good points and bad points to ever advantage the cordless phone has to offer. The longer distances mean that you can now carry your phone with you when you are stepping over to the neighbors for a quick hello. You are guaranteed not to miss a call no matter where you are – the yard, the garage or the roof. On the flip side, it seems that you are forced to be available at all times. There is just no getting away.
The ability of cordless phones to go anywhere means that you don’t have to stop what you are doing to take a phone call. You can continue to chat away while doing the laundry, cleaning the house or just wandering from room to room. On the flip side, cordless phones allow for other people to call you and talk longer than ever before.
Cordless phones are both a blessing of the technological age and a curse. Which side of the coin they fall on often depends on whether you wanted to take that particular call or not.
