lol, I remember the times of a single family landline. Even if you were trying to talk to a lady, you would be stuck out in the living room with anyone able to drop in. You kids now a days have it made with smart phones.
edit: and better internet. dial up was hell. 16kb/s. a 3 minute download for a small 400x400 pixel smutt picture. If someone picked up the phone, your internet turned off.
