But now, all of a sudden, I have to list extension numbers for voice mail, fax numbers for home (thus doubling the number of numbers to list and, in the process, often extending the length of each number, to cope with a digital dearth) and http://'s. To reach a friend a few blocks away, I have to type 38 letters that mean nothing, a numeral, two underlines...
