For Google, it's Throwback Tuesday.
The company typically likes to stand on the bleeding edge of tech**logy (think self-driving cars (http://mashable.com/2016/03/11/google-self-driving-car-sxsw/) and multi-modal drones (http://mashable.com/2014/08/28/google-project-wing-drone-delivery-australia/)), but today it's looking back at the venerable landline.
