Communication has a lot to answer for.
I remember the days when I lived in a sleepy village in Leicestershire but found that with a Sigma 4 on the chimney I could talk to people in America, Canada, Italy and all those far away places.
Yes, AM CB was in it's prime in the 70's and had a Ham Multimode2 and a Tristar 777 confiscated during those years because it was illegal. The fine was £450 the first time and £600 the second!
Now we can pick up a mobile phone and talk to almost anywhere in the world for peanuts, but is this really progress.
The telephone evolved as a means of communication from telegrams and writing letters, yet we now have an all singing & dancing tiny phone and what do we do?
We struggle to write on a tiny keypad with 3 letters per button.
