The old rotary dial phone I was probably in elementary school the last time I used one. I can still remember our old number from my childhood. Remember dialing "0" for operator to get information or to be connected to another party? Nothing happens when you dial "0" today there are no more Lily Tomlin type operators who sit at switchboards answering your questions. Everything is computerized if you need answers you ask Siri or Google it. I'm just thankful I'm not old enough to have used the old candlestick phone. Even though we're in a cell phone wielding society you still will occasionally see a payphone. The numbers are dwindling but you would think they would be nonexistent by now. I believe a lot of payphone's today are wi-fi equipped which still makes them useful.

I was about six when I last used one. I still remember the # to this day, along with my first address. There is no reason I should remember those since I was real young.

Do these still exist? I can't remember the last time I noticed one.

Can't remember the last time I saw a phone booth like that. That will be in a museum in another 50 years.

I still don't understand how or why Superman changed cloths in there. There's no privacy or elbow room. lol

I still have a rotary phone, got it in a lot I bought at an auction. When the electricity goes out, I plug it into the wall jack and it works when all others don't or run out of juice.
