We all adopt technology at different rates. There’s nothing wrong with being a little slow on the uptake–heck, sometimes it can be to your advantage. It means missing out of a lot of failed technologies, for one thing.
When it comes to landlines, however, the era of the early adoption is over by roughly a century, so if your community hasn’t already gotten on the telephone bandwagon yet, now is probably a pretty safe time to do so.
That’s precisely what happened in Iowa Hill this week. The small California town got phone service–for the first time, ever. There has been cell phone service in the town, but it was spotty at best.
The service has finally hit the town thanks to a $2.5 million grant from the state’s Public Utilities Commission. Service was supposed to kick in over the weekend, but all of the necessary towers weren’t erected in time.
