This new-fangled technomology's too much for me
From my ever-amusing-yet-painful computer networking textbook:
(For those too young to know, a rotary phone is an analog telephone with no buttons - only a dial.)
Oh man, that is sad. ^^;; What, is it just because I grew up a little in China that I've actually seen - and used - rotary phones and B&W TVs? I remember when I volunteered at the Tech Museum in high school, we had a rotary phone as one of the small hands-on exhibits at the info desk in the Communication gallery, and little kids would come up and be like "This is a phone?" I'M NOT OLD I'M ONLY TWENTY
The big-ass thunderstorms are rolling in again - fun, because I'm safe and sound indoors! ...But it should be safe for me to be on the computer, right? I mean, these big, sturdy dorms are well-insulated, right? ...>>;;
Edit, just because I feel like it: In China we had a color TV, even with a remote (although it was attached by a wire), because my dad went to America on business and brought back much bling. But my neighbor friend downstairs had a B&W TV that tried to pretend it was color by tinting the top, middle, and bottom different strips of colors. I always thought there was something wrong with it - didn't find out until recently that there were TVs made like that in an attempt to simulate sky/flesh tone/grass. Heh.

Re: Indeed
Oh well, I think it actually speaks well for how fast technology is improving these days. But man... cassette tapes are NOT OLD DAMMIT
