My step kids had cellphones before my wife and I got ours, we had a landline. The kids started arguing about what was on TV and when I just turned the TV off, they threatened to call their dad.

We played board games, built puzzles and (now almost unheard of) they went outside and played with other kids in the neighborhood. Also got them into reading books.

Sounds like pre and post 1950 when outside was more fun than inside.

Board and card games took up many hours of rainy days.

I don't think I ever used a phone until girls were discovered in the 60"s.

Late 60's phones were introduced to cars from what I remember and didn't like them than either. Folks could find us.
