On the Mental Floss blog this week, there’s a charming video of cute kids being asked to figure out how a rotary phone works.
The blog post also links to an earlier post that gives you a chance to hear 11 sounds of lost or or outmoded technology. And if you want to take a peek at my family’s first home computer, you can see what we had back in 1978-1983: an Apple II.
Have any of you ever used a rotary phone to make a call? If yes, is there anything that you miss about it?
I saw this a few days back! It was really cute and funny.
I used a rotary phone when I was a little kid but I always dialed the wrong number. I miss playing around with the phone but I’m glad technology made it easier to call someone (and not have us sit in one spot the whole time).
