Phones designating a place rather than a person * 1
    #19315048 - 12/23/13 07:23 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Isn't it weird to think that just a few years ago, most phone numbers uniquely identified a building or residence whereas now they tend to designate an individual person?

I've probably been exposed to this more as my family went cellphone-only in 2010 but still... just kinda weird.

I also noticed while watching Pulp Fiction a year ago how everyone used to (seem to, anyway) have phone numbers memorized but cellulars laid that one to rest too.

I still know my friends house numbers from growing up.  I don't even know what my ladies cell number is by heart after 3 years
:eek:

Oh man I remember when I was a kid when they added area codes to phone numbers. I remember hating having to dial the area code. I also remember using a rotary phone which is weird considering I was born in 89.

Haha they "added" it... :lol: I wasn't even thinking far back enough; I remember in some old Stephen King novels I used to read, there'd be like 5-6 digit phone numbers and I was just like "lol... [inference]"

Haha weird. I also remember actually dialing to an operator.
