TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — With most students now using cell phones, Indiana State University officials plan to remove telephone service from individual residence hall rooms.
Campus residential life director Rex Kendall says usage of residence hall land lines has plummeted over the past few years as cell phone use has soared nationwide.
Of all the things in my lifetime that we didn't know we couldn't do without until they were invented, the cell phone is still the most amazing to me. The fact that we so blithely accept that a phone number is attached to a person rather than a location is a revolution not just in technology but in thinking as well.
