Our future is doomed, and I don’t mean football.
That's pretty funny. Wow I'm old.
No those kids are just dumb
Yup, boomer here. But holy crap.. treat it as a puzzle. You have about 3 variables. 1) Holes over the numbers 2) Something that spins 3) (the tricky one) a stop.I'm not going to go full "ok, boomer" but knowing how to use an analog phone is analogous to hand-churning butter, hitching and riding horse-drawn buggy or butchering a pig.
So basically your snark is comparable to how people in the 1920s were when they saw their age's technology being phased out and them being left behind.

So.. you try pushing the numbers.. that didn't work. That took 2 seconds. So what about the other 5 minutes? These kids look like chimpanzes in the zoo rather than humans. Really.. the technology was so bad in the 60's that analog stuff is complicated?
I stand by my statement. These kids are dumb.

Not sure why anyone would be shocked that a phone that died off before these kids were even born would come as an oddity to them. Id like to see any of us here try and use a telegraph...

I would love to see these two doofus's report cards.I get what you're saying, but I was writing excel functions in 5th grade, and my grandpa, who I respect in every aspect had no clue what the hell I was doing. I didn't even have to think about it.
That's pretty much it. Kids have no more reason to know about rotary phones than I did of knowing how to change a wagon wheel.I'm not going to go full "ok, boomer" but knowing how to use an analog phone is analogous to hand-churning butter, hitching and riding horse-drawn buggy or butchering a pig.
