Back in the late 80s when I wanted to talk to a friend, you had to pick up a phone and call. I think this trained the GenX kids to be able to use a phone.

It's always funny explaining to people that grew up post cell phones that if we wanted to talk to a girl, we had to call her house phone, which often meant introducing yourself to her father first.

Oh shit, I totally forgot. And sometimes the parents would eavesdrop on the call.
