Last night at approx 8 pm Randy got a text on his phone from a friend saying Pres Hinckley had died. We instantly changed the TV channel to KSL and sure enough it was being announced. I then called my mom to tell her, Randy texted Cod and several other friends. For the next 30 minutes his phone kept getting and sending texts.
What a great day we live in when news can travel that fast. Just a few years ago it would have gone by cell phones. 10 years ago it would have gone by land line phone.
We often forget how easy we have it. We forget what it used to be like before all the bells and whistles that everyone now takes for granted. I remember a boss I had that got one of the first “Mobile Phones” He thought he was so cool as he packed this bag that was the size of a laptop bag now that powered his phone. He also could plug it into his cars wiring system and with the rather weird looking antenna got calls most of the time.
Now most young married couples don’t even bother getting a land line phone (I often wonder why we still have ours)
