Grandpa Rick's Poem Being Connected
In the poem "Being Connected," the speaker has a different opinion about telephones than the grandpa does. The two people in the story have an on and off conversation about telephones.
Grandpa Rick could you tell me about your child hood. Well Morty for starter's we did not have those gadgets you play with ever day. What gadgets are you talking about, are you talking about my toys. No Morty I am talking about your cell phones. When I was growing up we used those things as tools. Grandpa how is that even possible so you fixed cars with telephones. No! They were only used to make appointments and share gossip or to call the police. Your great great grandfather had one, but I was a little boy back then. What did it look like grandpa.
The telephone was very heavy it was black, with a long, curly cord and a clicking dial that turned like a wheel.
