❓Have you ever used a rotary phone?
❓How many phones did your family have/has? ~~~⏳~~~ ☎️My family phone (only one) hung on the wall in the kitchen. My mom talked to my grandma daily on it while getting dinner ready so we had to walk under the cord. We didn’t get cordless phones until I went to college. I carried change for payphones in case of an emergency. You wonder how we survived? We managed. My mom and I got stranded at a mall in a snow storm but my dad happened rescued us. I thought we called him on a pay phone because he was home, but Mom said he drove by at the same time we got stuck and rescued us. Either way, we didn't have a mobile phone and still survived. We also had a party line that was shared with everyone in the neighborhood so the neighbors could listen to our conversations and vice versa. 📱My husband bought me my first mobile phone, but it didn’t connect to the internet. It was for emergencies, so I left it off. My first smart phone was an iPhone 5c that I got in 2014. I just replaced it last year with an iPhone SE. Yes, it’s possible to live without the latest technology, but I'm sure many don't try.
