00:00Right, so do you still use a landline?

00:02No, I have one, but I never use it.

00:04No.

00:05No.

00:06No. Why not?

00:07Because the standing charges are too high.

00:13Nobody else uses them.

00:15The last time I used it was...

00:19I think never. My apartment just came with one.

00:22I've never used it, never given out the number for it to anybody,

00:25so nobody really calls me on it.

00:27Nobody uses it.

00:29Nobody contacts me on it, so I have no reason to use it.

00:32Honestly, I don't know why it's sitting here, but I never use it.

00:36Early on in my life, I was born in 2005,

00:39so that's kind of when cell phones gained a lot of popularity,

00:44and I just noticed that no one was really talking about landlines anymore.

00:49I mean, my parents were quite old-fashioned, they still had one.

00:52Slowly but surely, people stopped using that,

00:54and then people just started using cell phones.

00:56We're just paying for the convenience of having a phone in the house.

01:00I'm just paying for it.

01:01We're just going to check it out and see if we can miss him.

01:02Excuse me?

01:03No, I'm going to have a place for now, and we should also see the top right now.

01:05Do it.

01:06You wait for this time.

01:07I will be missing and that's very close.

01:09You wait for it.

01:10That's not my next problem.

01:11I will be sure to tell you how it is,

01:12it's not my favorite thing,

01:13but I'm not really happy about you.
