Anybody remember answering machines? We still have one!
Cell phones, especially mine, get near ZERO junk calls. And they have this magic device called a 'screen', which displays the number of the caller. :)
I had one of the very first answering machines in the late 70s (I think). People REALLY hated it as it was considered the height of indignity to have to leave a message.
