Did you know that some people don't know what a "dial tone" is? Hell, maybe you don't know what a dial tone is. Culture has changed so rapidly and so drastically that simple concepts like the dial tone are unfamiliar to some people. When I heard from a friend that one of her freshman college students didn't know what a dial tone was, I learned a new perspective and understanding of how we interact with technologies and people.
I took this photo in the basement of my high school because I have never seen anyone use this pay phone before. Once, I had to use a pay phone myself, but I couldn't because I didn't know how. Also, I'm pretty sure that the machine hadn't had any maintenance in quite a few years. I arranged this photo as I did to symbolize the frustrations we have with technology old and new.
