Trope Talk: Those Dang Phones

Hey, have you noticed how many newer stories are giving the protagonists tools for always-on easy-access instant communication? Have you rewatched an older bit of sci-fi and questioned why the characters haven't been using the comms tech they DO have to stay in touch? Are you a writer who's noticed YOU'VE been giving your characters cell-phone equivalents without even thinking about it? Well, I hope you're prepared for a half-hour-long descent into madness as I unpack the history of telecommunication, both fictional *and* real, and try to convince you that I haven't spent the last two months losing my mind!
