We got back from out 7 weeks of world travels today. Parents weren't online, called them on the old-fashioned phone. Our 19-month old daughter on my lap.
When I hold the handset to her ear she listens to her grandma, grabs it, and waves at the speaker.
Actually, I think she finds the telephone rather perplexing. The idea that grandma can speak out of the computer makes perfect sense to her -- after all, sometimes you can see grandma on the screen. But grandma talking out of a white handle?
I think we should take the hint. It's time to reinvent telephony.
