That wasn't very insightful since the answer is pretty much caller ID and having the names of the people you want to talk to pop up when they call

I don't know where I was or who said it. Some woman at an AA meeting probably. She said she thinks it's rude to call her. For her friends to call her on the telephone instead of sending a text first to ask if she can talk. That was weird to me and I wonder if it's common now among people who don't remember the era when you had to answer
