Never thought of that, last time I used a taxi it was a dial phone so it has never been a consideration for decades.
Never thought of that, last time I used a taxi it was a dial phone so it has never been a consideration for decades. I'm old enough to where I won't be forgetting any time soon how excellent things can be without any phone at all, much less cellular. Land lines were usually too expensive for students but people weren't crying about doing without. I do bring the flatphone with me regularly, just not most of the time, and only when I have a strong anticipation of wanting or even needing it. In a restaurant I didn't even like pagers when they were a thing. Pagers might have been anti-social with their piercing interruptions, but least they weren't as annoying to carry around as an oversized internet-connected device. And definitely not as anti-social as a phone having Facebook with a human being strung along attached by the finger.

A vantage point from a very long time ago: The big social media services are pining for the days of CompuServe and Prodigy.
