Times a-changin'

Following on from the previous topic, I got the following SMS yesterday: "You could win a R500.00 gift voucher if u book to attend SAICA's event for under-35 CAs (etc etc)".

Apart from the fact that I'm getting cell-phone spam from them, when even a stodgy old institution like the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants is using sms-speak, you have to wonder what the world is coming to.

On the subject of change, I just noticed that the Vodacom Voicemail Voice has changed. For like, forever, we've been listening to one lady telling us how many new messages we have, and please press 1 to listen to them, and now there's a new voice at the end of the line. It's completely irrational, I admit, but am I the only one who feels totally weird about this?
