Description
Do you remember this back in the earlier days of telecommunication? It was called a public pay phone. Maybe one day it could become a prominent feature in a museum of the future named The Museum of Technological History.

F/L Nice composition. The capture is excellent! It is nice to be able to see the numbers and to read the print pm the phone!

love when i see the rare phone booths still around kellice,scary how life and technology changes so quickly! i miss these relics:) l/f
Kellice Swaggerty replied:
Thanks Ed! It is amazing how some things which we think are so firmly established seem to vanish almost overnight. Maybe an implanted chip can one day replace our handheld devices. I just hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime :)

When the phone booths disappeared, all I could think of was, what's superman going to do now. Thanks for a fun memory.
Kellice Swaggerty replied:
So true, Sheryl! And yet Clark Kent didn't even have a push-button phone. They were all rotary dial. :)
