Electronic Trash

Last night, I read the definition of the words "phone" and "pager".  This morning, I read the definition for the words "phone" (yes, again) and "communication.  Just now, I read the definition of the word "computer".  I was starting to be confused with what a phone is and its purpose.  In case you are wondering, I also looked up the word "android".  Android based on my reading of the definition in my dictionary only exists in science fiction books and films.

You use the phone to speak with someone in another place.  Before the phone, you would have to yell to speak with someone in another place and hope that they can hear you.

You use the pager to let someone know you are trying to phone them.

Communication is a message that you send while Communications is the broadcast of information.

Finally, the computer is the master of information but it can only retrieve what is stored.

The phone and pager serve great purposes.  Technology has improved so much that a lot of science fiction are no longer fiction, like flying.

Sometimes, I wonder if, at certain places on Earth, the things that are possible are still fictional.
