Description:
A telephone’s experience, which instantly connects people by carrying a buoyant invitation, an intimate conversation, or sad news as a distant (“tele”) voice/sound (“phone”), remains unchanged from past to present in the awkwardness of that connection.
The time spent waiting for a call, the coarse sound quality, the slight delay, and the time difference between two faraway points still require us to listen closely to the other side of the receiver, and even create the illusion of being connected to a distant past.
Because of these limitations, the telephone, which lets us hear a “more distant voice,” is a realistic and critical motif precisely in today’s world, where the sense of isolation is so strong.
