Who can forget the lovable little alien who was stranded on earth in Steven Spielberg's 1982 blockbuster film, ET, the Extra-Terrestrial. ET needed to "phone home" in order to be rescued. He constructed a makeshift radar dish with a popup umbrella lined with aluminum foil, in order to signal his spaceship to pick him up. If ET was stranded on earth today, advancements in communication technology would have made it easy for him to "phone home," just as it makes it easy for tenants and virtual tenants of the Executive Office Center to phone home or anywhere in the world with customized Queens virtual office telecommunication plans.
