I love the speed dial feature of modern phones.  They are so convenient.  You can use them as a protective tool too:  just program “9” on the speed dial to dial “911”.  You can do this on your home phone, your work phone and on your cell phone.  Then, whenever there is a phone, you can get help quickly and easily just by pressing a single button.  And by using speed dial “9” you won’t forget which button to press.
