Humankind is a collaborative species, and the key to collaboration is communication. From the first spoken language, to the advent of the Ricola horn, to flag waving semaphore, straight on to the Walkie Talkie, communication has improved incalculably. Until the telephone. From the first phone call, it seemed a promising development, but the second call was a misleading confusion about Alexander Graham Bell’s extended car warranty. The telephone not only gave us the ability to reach anybody on the planet, it also gave everybody on the planet a way to reach us. Now, with cell phones in everyone’s pocket, crooks and liars and thieves no longer have to locate a mark, just punch some digits and they’re already in someone’s pocket. When every unknown call is known to be a ruse, can we finally fracture the phone part away from the cell? Answer the call with Mat and Veronique as we scrounge up some Google Play Gift Cards to satisfy the relentless onslaught of the Spam Calls!
