Driving to the cemetary this afternoon, I noticed the guy in the car next to me talking on his cell-phone. And it was after I noticed that he had to hold it halfway between his ear and mouth to talk that I realised what the rest of culture hasn't yet--at some point, "conveniently small" becomes "ridiculously small".

Halfway-between-ear-and-mouth may work for some people, but it certainly lends a new meaning to the term "long-distance phone-call".
