| Feb 2, 2016 at 3:05 | comment | added | Möoz | I'm not that old and I remember dial phones. I would wake up to the whirring and jarred-crunches of the dial-up modem tone; and the phrase "Get off the Internet, I need the phone" is in no way strange to me. | |

And phone booths — I loved the scene in the Superman movie where Clark Kent runs up to a pay phone that's just a phone on a pole and regards it with a look on his face that says, "So where can I change into my costume?" | |
