Low Blood Sugar Ponderings

I think that cell phone technology has come a long way over the last 10 years. In fact, I would go so far as to say every single person I know has and uses a cellphone, including my grandmother. In FACT, most people use cell phones as their primary phones and are pretty familiar with the whole system and how they work. So why, after all this time, do cell phones STILL instruct me on how to leave a message?? "At the tone, please record your message. When you have finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options." No. F-ing. Way. Record at the tone? And then hang up when I'm done?? Are you sure??? I feel so uncertain how to proceed with this newfangled technology. Please cell phone, walk me through it! I think it's time we put a little trust in society and just went directly for the beep (think Dylan McKay, "this is Dylan, you know the drill"). I do know the drill, I do.
