My cell phone is considered an antique by the people who keep trying to sell me a new one -- it's not that old, but it's not a smart phone in any sense of the word. If it were smart enough to recognize my voice (which it is not), I would probably tell it to call Aman or the Uttermost West when calling home. Of our local group of Tolkien fans, we were always and coincidentally the ones who lived farthest west, hence the name. I suppose I'm glad it doesn't have voice recognition; getting my personalized ring tone on it was hard enough. (And for those familiar with my symphonies and suites, my ring tone is the theme I wrote for the Ring. Bad pun, I know, but I'll never get it confused with someone else's. My husband uses my theme for Sauron as the ring tone for me when I call. I should be miffed at that, but I just can't be.
