Parents, do you think your child would be able to survive if they were transported back to the '70s or '80s? Could they live at a time before the digital revolution put a huge chunk of our lives online?These days, everyone has a phone in their pocket, but before then, if you were in public and needed to call someone, you used a pay phone. Can you remember the last time you stuck 50 cents into one and grabbed the grubby handset? According to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, roughly 100,000 pay phones remain in the U.S., down from 2 million in 1999.Do you think a 10-year-old kid would have any idea how to use a payphone in 2022?

Bear Strolls Into Connecticut Neighborhood & Abruptly Interrupts Kids’ Basketball Game

For 16 years, Sarah Fiacco relished her job as a stay-at-home mom, never missing a recital or basketball game. Now she’s finding purpose as a lunch lady. “Never did I imagine at 40 years old I’d be working in my kids' school cafeteria full-time,” Fiacco wrote on a luxury buy and sell Facebook page. “Honestly, I struggled accepting (the position) because it’s not necessarily a ‘dream job.’ I was even embarrassed to share here. But, I’m here to say in less than two weeks, I already have a deeper sense of satisfaction than I’ve ever had."
