Daddy what is that?

What the heck is this thing? Does it have web access? Does it check Facebook? Can it update my twitter?

The above picture was taken by my long time friend Branden Kerr. Branden was down in Florida for a convention, and we met up and walked around the mall next to the convention with Caressa and my son Caden. While we where there my son saw this weird looking box. I handed him the phone, and he put it up to his ear. The only reason he knew to do that was from playing with my cell phone. The look on his face is not because he doesn't know who is on the other line, but more of a what the heck am I holding here!

This got me thinking. Things are changing so quick that there are tons of things that will look weird to my son. To be honest...the phone booth looked weird to me...almost out of place. What the heck, I haven't seen one of these in about 10 yrs! Branden and I started talking about how we would put in a number, hang up the phone 3 times and it would ring the phone back! We couldn't think of the number exactly, but if we wanted to we could have googled it on our smart phones that where tucked in out freaking pockets!!!!!! Things like this make me feel really old!!! The fact that something so important is now so obsolete. This thing used to be the only way my aunt would know to come pick my cousin and I up form the Seaside Heights boardwalk after a day of surfing! Now I know you can say every generation goes through this! But I think the rate in which this happens is increasing. Some day my son will look at my cell phone and laugh!
