Some science behind a phenomenon that I have been trying to explain and highlight for years: many of our current ‘high fidelity’ digital technologies… are actually ruining our minds, hearing, sight… and probably our bodies as well.
“Analog emotional resonance also worked through phones. The old-school “landline” phones (aka, the plain old telephone service, or POTS), connected two people in real-time through a pair of dedicated, analog copper wires. Those of us who grew up with POTS phones happily spent hours on them because the connection was so good: no dropping, no gargling, no lost words, no weird sounds or silences. Ask anyone who lived that to confirm it. Talking on POTS phones was like having your conversational partner whisper in your ear. “
