WHAT YOU SEEK CANNOT BE FOUND

When the phone was first invented, it was a luxury toy for the
very rich but as the decades past, that toy moved from the
well-to-do to become a must-have for the masses. Some could argue
that the telephone was the first piece of technology to begin
shrinking the planet. Now anyone can call any other person anywhere
in the world. Not long ago, I received a call from a friend in
Africa.
The phone is a staple of the American culture. Currently, about
84% (or 250-million) Americans now are a part of some type of cell
phone plan. You could tell how important phones
were to US culture when they began showing up in films, songs and
songs.
The Ditties is about how that technological wonder in a box (the
telephone) became such a part of US life that we began to write
songs about every aspect of it. Not only is it referenced in
subject but in name and number.
Below are examples of how we have celebrated our dear friend
with song.
