    Right, but when everyone got phone books, those were only shared locally in the town. It would be pretty hard to figure out someones phone number from across the state/country without the internet unless you knew someone in the town.

    You could also pay to be unlisted, which is a luxury long since gone. How cool would it be to make your data ‘unlisted’ by paying a small monthly fee.
