I wonder if there are phone booths out still now? Things definitely have changed from when we were young. Wonder how phones will look in another 10 years or so.

I haven't seen a phone booth in years. I didn't think they even existed any more. I don't know what you'd do if you needed one in an emergency and didn't have a cell phone.

 It's crazy! It's literally in every corner in my city but no one even uses it and I find my self forgetting about those when I walk outside.

Yeah I remember those days and I am only 29.  Things have changed so much already and it makes me think about what things will be like in another 29 years.

Phone booths were everywhere when I was a kid; and the price was a dime. Prices and technology have made some major changes since then.

Yes I remember that everyone did not have computers.. Going outside to play was a great thing. I remember when we first got dial up internet connection. lol

Yes, I remember starting college and only 1 of my roommates had a (big) cell phone. Technology moves fast.

So many things to remember: not being forced to wear seatbelts, not having to wear helmets, bags of chips that were full to the top, carrying cash in one's pocket, not having to pay taxes because education afforded you a tax break, being able to afford life because health insurance costs were still reasonable, not having to worry about all of our foods being poisoned with insecticides, not having burned out eyes from looking at a computer screen all day, being able to go through an airport without any hassles, not having to put sunscreen on, being able to send your children through school without mortgaging the house, being able to finish college in four years...ahhh so many fond memories!

    The phone booth is almost obsolete! Now, you need to use a cell phone!
