Clark and his wife were recently watching Coming to America on Bravo and he was struck by how much communication has changed in the world since the movie was released in 1988.

In one scene, Arsenio Hall goes to send a wire -- as in a telegram. When was the last time you heard of anyone doing that?! Later in the movie, another actor makes a call from Queens to Manhattan and it's billed at a long distance rate!

During the commercial breaks, Clark saw a few current spots that were just as outdated in their mentality as the movie was in it's portrayal of communications.

AT&T Wireless' commercial was about rollover minutes. An ad from Verizon Wireless, meanwhile, bragged about how you can call friends on their network and it won't count against your minutes.

Both companies are really lost in time. The idea of charging customers per minute to use a cell phone is antiquated. We're very rapidly moving to a world where all you'll be charged for is service such as voice and data.

Do you want to make a clean break from the dinosaurs of the cell phone world?

The consumer champ has frequently recommended no-contract cell phone carriers like Metro PCS and Cricket. He also likes some of the monthly pre-paid unlimited plans such as Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile.

In addition, for those who are still tethered to the major cell phone carriers, T-Mobile's loyalty plan may benefit those who have been customers for 22 months or longer.
