peer agreement (net): +7plastic cup with a string Explanation: Do you remember back in the day when you were a child and played you phoned someone with a toy-phone made out of a can and a string? (the voice carried through the string) That's what I think it means. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2006-10-25 01:24:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ------------ So the figurative meaning would be that with the incredibly fast speed technology is being developed, what we have now (as cell phones in this case) will be like "plastic cups with a string" in the near future. Does this help? |
