1982 I was 16 and went to Florida. I was from the Iowa countryside. Some kids I met asked me, in all seriousness, if we had phones.

1975. My college roommate, from NJ suburb of NYC, drove out to my home in rural Ohio. He was expecting to see a shack and front porch and rocking chairs as in the opening credits of “Beverly Hillbillies.”

“. I was from the Iowa countryside.“

Those Florida folks obviously didn’t realize the worlds 1st digital computer was built at Iowa State!
Most city folk are that way.
They just don’t get it.
