  4. How are you?

    I would like to say I knew the sign in the background said, “How are you?” but it’s more likely I did not. I’m glad it worked out, and it just proves that you have to be ready to take the photograph when you’re doing street photography or you’ll miss the moment. In 2004, Ireland

    In 2004, Ireland was in the midst of a mobile phone boom. The average Irish person was sending lots of text messages per month. The phones of the era were mostly Nokia models and early flip phones. The iPhone wouldn’t arrive for another three years. Making an actual voice call, as this woman is doing, was still the primary use of a mobile phone, rather than the app-launching, social-media-scrolling pocket computers we carry today.

  14. Wrong number

    Each day at around 6 pm, you receive a call from someone who dialled the wrong number. It is always a different person. Over time, the callers become increasingly less likely. One time, for example, you had a ten-minute chat with the president of Egypt, who was impressed with your grasp of his language. The thing is, you thought you were both speaking English.

    I'm not sure a workable definition of "social media" is actually possible. The one you give, which is better than most I've seen, is still arguably stretchable to cover voice phone calls that happen to be carried over IP networks.

  17. Just off a #PhoneCall about an important matter. (Funding.)

    The quality of the audio was so poor.
    Syllables and words often smearing.

    Seems to happen quite frequently, but far from "all the time".

    I'm thinking the algorithims they're using to shrink the bandwidth of the audio signals are not suitable for the environment they're being used in.

  22. One thing I really do not understand is the obsession with messaging over a phone call.

    You have to wait ages to finish a conversation that could have taken 2 minutes, meanwhile I'm in wait mode because someone hasn't responded and can't get on with things until it's been sorted out.

    And yet people think it is weird that I would much rather call, ask a question, get the answer and get on with the rest of my day.

    It is completely bewildering to me.
