Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

How many terms do modern cellphone users use that refer to old-style telephones? "Dial"? We don't use "dials" anymore "Hang up"? used to refer to the wall and candlestick style phones where the earpiece - or handset - was "hung" on a hook thingy. we don't do that anymore.
