Life in the United States in 1970s

America was a much different place half a century ago, though for those of a certain age it doesn't seem that long, McDonald's sold burgers and shakes, but not breakfast. Pay phones abounded everywhere in stores, shops, gasoline stations, hotel lobbies, and on street corners. Many of them still had rotary dials. So did the majority of telephones found in private homes, though push button phones appeared in offices. There was no 911 service in most of the United States. One dialed zero for the operator in emergencies, who connected the caller with the appropriate service. Operators also provided help in long distance calling, such as collect calling, or charging the call to a third number.
