I find it so amusing that kids these days have been raised with their own smartphones, and have no concept of things like; regular cell phones (without smartphone capabilities), pagers, pay phones or rotary phones. Here’s a great video of a bunch of kids being introduced to a rotary phone. I love the part where they are trying to figure out how to text from it.

lol i liked that, I recall dialing 1471 on those phones over and over again then running off so my mother would come to the phone, those unaware 1471 used to be a simple dial line test thing .. which amused kids like me for generations

Too funny.

It’s true, though…today’s generation has no idea what it was like to have to stop in at a payphone if they needed to make a call. I don’t think any payphones exist any more – in the United States at least.

Aha.. retrospective. Interesting about rotary phone. I ve once given phone number with five no 8 and no 9. Reason because i pay normal fee. Imaging how long to wait to finish dialing?

How about this! While growing up in the 80’s we had 2 phones in the house. At my parents house right now they 4 phones for landline and 2 cell phones.
