Phone Home, E.T.

Check out this pay phone on the streets in Thailand. Looks kind of big and nasty, and I wonder how much longer they’ll be around. I hardly see any pay phones at home anymore, except maybe in airports. How did people live without cell phones? Oh yeah, my Dad told me about pagers. I asked him “Why didn’t you just call someone instead of paging him. That’s stupid!” I wonder if E.T. would have called home from this pay phone?
