Very Funny! I love the one kid, who said on being presented with the cell phone, made some comment about why we are de-evolving.

I keep one in the house in case of power outages. The dial phones don't require electricity to work.

Cute! My husband misses the rotary phone we had about 10 years ago. I do not. I used to have bad dreams that I needed to call for help and the dialing was soooooo slow! When I was little we had party lines. Can't even imagine that these days.

I remember our phone number was prescott PR1.... One time someone called and said is this 771... and I said no cause we were so use to using PR. Funny how times change.

Thanks for the memories. I love the reactions of these kids. I still have a rotary phone I took to my 1st grade class each year and showed my students-they had almost the same reaction. I retired 2004,and most of the younger kids did not have their own phones then- my how fast things change in just 10 year.

That was cute. We have a landline in the house too-it is not a rotary but it doesn't require electricity either. It's a pushbutton from the 80s. We also have a rotary phone but it is OLD and doesn't work. It has two wires coming out of it instead of a phone jack thing. It's a paperweight.

THANK YOU for posting this link! My husband has been collectin vintage and antique phones for 30 years. I showed this to him and he loved it! We have about 50 antique phones in our family room and there are probably another 200 in his basement workshop. We haven't used a rotary phone for decades, of course. But I'm really struggling to get the hang of the new Iphone I just got! I need to hand it to a 10 year old to explain it to me.

That was very cute. We had big black phones even more outdated than that yellow one. Hard wired into the lines. Linden-2-7065J. And it started as a party line. We still have a landline and one of our phones plugs into a jack. We lose electricity here often enough to keep a plug in phone.
