Instant Information

&nbsp; <p>We had a roof leak during the rain recently, and I was fumbling to call someone, anyone.&nbsp; I finally got someone on the phone, and was informed that I could have found the liaison to our Home Owners Association in the phone book.</p> <p>I did not think of manually looking in a physical phonebook.&nbsp; I had been doing my searching online.&nbsp; Which prompts me to ask, Does anyone in this era utilize the phone book?&nbsp; I mean the actual - they deliver to your home- big, usually yellow in color (in some areas) phone book. Think I may take a survey. *wink</p> <p>I looked around the house here, and found a couple of phonebooks, both outdated (2002 newest one).&nbsp; Sure enough, there in the white pages, were the numbers I was looking for.&nbsp; Who would have known? I do recall when I was in my youth, that we had phone books, but we would just call information.&nbsp; Name and city was all they required to get us an immediate&nbsp;number on the person, place or thing, we were looking for.&nbsp; Now for a certain dollar amount, we can still retrieve that information through our phone services *411.</p> <p>Of course, with our new technology and the information highway, we just attempt to locate who and what we want with a few taps on the keyboard.&nbsp; And, to our delight, we can usually find it.</p> <p>But, there is something to this phonebook which you should keep current, I might add.&nbsp; Now if we could just get them to have larger print.</p>
