The individual might be back to the 90s, but the rest of society and the environment is not. E.g. kids in the 90s just had to carry a few quarters and they could use a payphone if they really needed to call home. Today payphones have virtually disappeared.

If you're really in an emergency, literally everyone around you has a phone.

My generation was told that all strangers are dangerous, so there's going to be some trepidation going to people on the street and asking for help.
