I can remember when you could quiet a restless baby by holding a watch up to his ear. It doesn't work anymore. I think we may have a new generation who won't know the sound of a ticking clock or a rotary dial phone. Heck, phones don't even ring anymore and neither do alarm clocks. Gas pumps haven't dinged on each gallon is a long, long time and doorbells aren't bells, they're chimes. And what do you call that sound that replaced the siren on the fire trucks?
