I remember when I was young, my dad came out of a Parent-Teacher meeting and showed his flip phone which showed 40 missed calls from work. He worked as a lead programmer in a bank which was very new to Internet Banking.

He was clearly annoyed with the calls, but as a kid I was amused and a little jealous of the fact that in such a short time so many people wanted to get hold of him. I also remember signing up for all kind of email newsletters just to get more emails!

Have to admire the vision of this artist in an age when even land lines weren't in wide use!
