More Proof

..., If any were necessary, that Society has evolved much faster than Mankind: A hundred years ago, when people used a wall-mounted phone to make a long distance call, they tended to speak louder, to overcome the dissipating effects of distance. Today, however, everybody has a Mobile Phone (Cell Phone, in the USA). Even with a SmartPbone though, people still shout when they talk at long distance. Wouldn't a truly evolved talker know that his phone was smart enough to make the needed amplification adjustment for the distance involved?
No, even the smartest of smart phones is actually not much more than a shiny can-on-a-string to its proud (but unevolved) owner.
