1968 – Phones in the Kitchen
Relying on a mobile phone is all the rage now but in the 1960s, having a landline phone in the kitchen so housewives could talk on the phone while cooking in the kitchen was considered luxurious.
Most phones were attached to the wall or sitting on the counter within arm’s reach. In fact, to this day, many rural areas that don’t have great cell phone coverage still rely on kitchen landline phones to reach out and call someone.
