Answer 1

I recently read an article that phone manufacturers are attempting to make a home phone with texting capabilities and ringtones. I think this is silly, but on the other hand not everyone has a home computer, so they wouldn't be able to IM, which seems more convenient. I still think landlines have a future. The older generation is not a big consumer for cell phones.
