PHILOSOPHY
What is a telephone? And what is the [|netiquette] of online telephony? One of our favorites stories comes from author Ben Orlove: //I was about to go out the front door, catch a bus and begin my rounds of appointments, when I saw Dora, the maid, standing in the entryway near a table with the telephone. "Excuse me, does the telephone work in Aymara?" she called to Phil, who was in the next room ... It was only as I walked down the hill that I recalled her question and began to reflect on it. It struck me as funny. How could anyone think that the telephone would not work in Aymara?// //The entire story is featured in Ben Orlove's [|Lines in the Water] page 63. ( [|Planeta Review] )//

PHONE PHOBES
Remember that not everyone enjoys talking on the phone. Some people are much better conversationalists in person or via written communication.
