Good job - entertaining and so true ! It reminded me of my husband and his experiences with modern phones. It must be a "male" thing. LucyLu of Central PA
Great writing ! Your sense of humor is fantastic. If others have not seen this author's other site, please take a look. It's worth it. Mary Jane - Pittsburgh, PA
It's One in the morning and I couldn't sleep. Glad I got up and read this article. Great Job, and so true. A good thing that the younger generation can see the key pads without glasses, or these new phones would never have taken off the way they did. I still use my standard black desk model and will continue to do so.
Hard to believe this guy taught science for 30+ years.....image what a fantastic English teacher he would have been!
Excellent views and all correct. Nothing irks me more than getting put on hold while the person on the other end answers another call.
Great article, Dave. But you forgot to mention another feature that went with the rotary phones -- the party line. On a party line, anyone could listen in on a phone call if you were one of the 8 or 10 people on the party line. On second thought, we have that now. It's just the listeners are all with the NSA! You'll probably also get a protest from the Micron Embassy down here in DC. They are very image-conscious. Dan from Oak Hill,VA
As someone who's been accused of being a phone-a-phobe, I agree! A phone should be a phone. Not a stereo. Not a typewriter. And certainly not a camera. I welcome The Rotary Club. Where do I sign up?
Funny and so true. Phones should be used only when necessary, not as entertainment (spoken as the old fart that I am). It's good that you don't work for the phone company or they'd fire your butt on the spot.
Loved the article and it was so true! Are we getting old? The younger generation seem to love these alien phones (but then again some of them look like they come from the planet micron.)
Very cute and all too true. Still, on those rare occasions when I use a "real" phone, I can't stand being tethered. Guess there's just no pleasing me. Dave, I suggest you invest in a few more pairs of reading glasses. As many pacifiers as you once needed for the babies seem to be just about the right number of pairs.
