Some would find another activity or actually engage in conversations with others. Some would lose their minds. I know older people who couldn't survive without electronics.

If the phone company relied on me to stay in business, it would go belly up. I have a mobile phone plan that allows me 300 minutes a month. If I use 30 of them, I use a lot. I'm not a phone person, so I rarely am on the phone other than business-related calls at work.
