RE: Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #230 'Remnant From The Past'
These phones have already moved to the "rarity" section. In the past, they really enjoyed popularity. I do not think that today there are people who use these phones. Most likely they do not even work. Now these are the monuments of the past :)
I remembered how, as a child, we were playing with these old phones (payphones). You could call from them, but the call was made due to whom you call. (that is, you call a person and he pays an incoming call). Each such phone had its own number. My friends and I called from one payphone to another. I called a friend he picked up a payphone on the other end of the street and confirmed that the call was at his expense. (in simple words, they called from one payphone to another for free). As a result, the police stood next to these phones. We were considered juvenile offenders: D
Modern smartphones brought convenience and benefit. But they also made people dependent. Now you can track your location. Thanks to the smartphone you can learn about almost everything. That is, smart phones took our freedom. Many people developed dependence. This is called a psychological illness, when a person can not spend time without looking in his phone. I read that in some country (I do not remember exactly) people with dependency on a smartphone are sent on paid leave. (to wither and to undergo treatment).
Thank you
