  • I wanted to show my 7 year old sister how old phones were used back then xP

  • That sound skype and a lot of noises are freaky

  • youtube.com/watch?v=XqaPI4zNpF­4

  • If you don't know how to use a phone, you're a dumbass

  • I love how even the bloke delivering the phone book wore a jacket and tie.

  • I never realized that people had to be instructed like this on how to dial a telephone - of course, what this was replacing was a live operator to whom you spoke, telling her (always a female) the number you wanted, or the person.

    I have no memory of talking to an operator for local calls, but I sure remember doing it for long-distance calls. You could ask for "station to station" calls or "person to person" calls.

  • This is a riot. I miss the rotary dial-you’d jam your damn finger off trying to win concert tickets the FM radio would sometimes give away.

  • Too much to remember. Where are my quill and parchment?

  • i want an iphone.

  • The local news of the week!!!
