&gt;[O]ne in five Americans rely on their smartphone as their sole access to the internet.<p>That’s just not right. Imagine needing to do research for a school paper and your only options are the limited time available on a school computer or your parent’s smartphone?

We need more pay phones. 2600 still has eight pictures of pay phones in every issue.

Pay phones don’t let you play clash of clans or browse Facebook
