Anger and Technology

It seems to me our phone related technology might have come just a little too far. Those old rotary phones were perfect for hanging up on someone. They were very sturdy, heavy plastic. Maybe not unbreakable, but nigh unbreakable. I could get pissed off, slam the phone to the receiver 3 or 4 times without breaking anything. The heavy weight of the phone felt good, the receiver was well balanced, the phone also made a satisfying, but faint "ringing" sound from the bells inside getting knocked around. Delightful, and very satisfying when you're angry. There is no doubt to the Jackass on the other end that they have been hung up on. It is for sure when you hear the party repeatedly slamming the phone down like a hammer to a bending nail.
Cordless phones and cell phones are ridiculous for this sort of thing. Pushing a button in anger is pathetic. It isn't satisfying, nor doesn't it properly convey your murderous intent. You can't pound on the off button. If you pound the phone on something it doesn't really hang up so much as it just breaks. The only thing you hear is the sound of splitting, cracking plastic. So not the same as that fainting ringing noise. Throwing a cordless phone or cell phone is mildly satisfying, but not in the same way. And seriously, if you're on a cell phone with a headset and you wanna hang up on someone, forget about it. Throwing a headset isn't even mildly satisfying.
