I lived in Indianapolis from ages 5 to 10, in the mid to late '40's.  We had a 6-digit phone number which I can still remember: Broadway 8979, or BR 8979.  It's quite possible we had a shorter phone number earlier than that and I only remember the latter number.  I didn't use the phone much when that young.  I think today's kids who have cellphones probably use them often to speak to friends. Technology has changed the world we live in.

I think the party line telephone was the basis for 'it takes a village to raise a child'.

And, years later, leading to the Village People. 

Or not.
