Soon, you’ll have a chatbot that can handle most conversations for you. How hard can it be to say, “Uh-huh. Really.” to that chatty friend of yours?
Phone books were really quite useful. They made excellent doorstops, could give you that extra bit of height for safely reaching the top cabinet and could be baked in the oven to the point of brittleness for that “tearing a phone book in half” party trick. :)

This was in 2001. Today nearly everybody has a smartphone, and they can look up numbers in the online phone directory.

Yup. We’ve all become pretty darned dependent on our technology—myself included. It definitely helps.
This one reminds me of a joke, too …
“I asked my daughter to hand me the phone book. Smirking, she passed me her smart phone and said, ‘What are you—a dinosaur?’
Now the spider is dead; my daughter is furious; and I have a new weapon against unwanted creatures."
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

Just “google it up” as Billy Collins says.
