Comment on Must be a strange feeling that something you used to use is now only seen in museums

  You’d think that maybe - just maybe - they’d see a movie or show that had older phones on set and see them in use? What era was that show Stranger Things set in?

  Lotsa rotary phones in use at that time… but then again, who actually watches a show when everyone’s got their noses glued to their devices. LOL!

    Yeah because the shows come with a tutorial /s.

    It’s easy to learn too. To input a number, put your finger in the hole and rotate it clockwise until you hit the stopper, then repeat.

      Yes its not brain science. I never had a rotary, then bought one, and immediately you can understand how to dial a number.
