Abstract

The advent and rapid development of communication technologies are incredibly changing the way we interact with others. If we think about the simple act of making a phone call, those of us and readers who were born in the last century will remember the coin-operated public telephones, the rotary dial for selecting the numbers to call; but they will also remember the effort required to recall those 6-7 numbers that were the contacts of friends, family members.
