Answer:
Printing names on the telephone directory invites strangers and criminals to engage you in conversation. One needn’t own a telephone to do so since telephone calls can be made from anywhere. Once a well-known actor said that if he was left alone to live on a desert island and allowed to take just one luxury, he would take the telephone with him, for he would be happy that it would never ring in the desert and he would not have to answer it. In spite of it’s usefulness, dislike of telephone is a universal thing.
Closing his article, William Plomer humorously says that his business with the use of words is about to stop as he is wanted on the telephone. Plomer dislikes not only telephones, but typewriters and cars also. Typewriters ring at the end of each line. He is not mechanical-minded and does not like cleaning, oiling and mending them. Though he can type well, he enjoys the act of forming letters and words with a pen. Plomer learned to drive at the age of Seventeen in South Africa. He often drove very fast and soon the speedometer of his car was broken.
