You never used a pay phone as a kid?
- kwhitefoot 2y agoI was born in 1955 in the UK and I almost never used a phone of any kind as a child.

- WalterBright 2y agoI used the two cans and a string phone as a kid. Only one channel on TV! I built an intercom from a kit when older, but it was useless as yelling worked better.

- WalterBright 2y agoAmusingly, at Caltech the only phone in the dorm was a payphone down the hall. The only time I recall ever using it was to make flight reservations to visit my parents. My first cellphone was in 1994 or so. It took many years before I was acclimated to using it, and didn't get an internet phone until 2015. I was a very early adopter of computers, but pretty late with phones.
