Pay Phones - Obsolete
Ricardo TrejoAnna Jane Grossman is a freelance writer who has taken up quite an interesting task - classify once common used items or practices, and compile them all into one witty encyclopedia.
A short video about the now all too forgotten pay phone based on her written antics from her book sprouted up on Gizmodo earlier today. Thought it was pretty fun to watch.
I don't even recall the last time I used a pay phone, but I do remember using them at one time or another in my past. I never depended on them though because phone books attached to them had gone through hell, the phone itself wasn't working, and not to mention the thousands upon millions of breeding germs on the handset.
At least on my cell phone I'm only interacting with my own germs.
