...and yet the phone is of no help in so many daily situations.
Where are the toothpicks?
Where are the baby bottles?
Where was it we were supposed to meet?
Umm… Where’s my transfer flight?
External maintenance workers: Where’s the machine I need to fix? Students at Universities: Where is room Z2431? Customers in electronics stores: Why can’t I just ask the personnel to come to me? M u s e u m s : H
