Yep. Black and white tv's, pong, walkman etc too. Technology has come a long way very quickly in the last 20 years.

Speaing about telephones?How do you feel about public telephones are there still at or in use or are they old or old news and obsolete?
-
We had one in our house. In those days you rented the phone just like we do now with cable TV boxes. The phone company took it back at when we upgraded.
-
No, the last rotary phone that I had was back in the early 90's, and it also stayed in the 90's.

Anybody remember party lines??? now that was fun!!
-
I sure do, got it from my grandma. It still has one of those old fashioned numbers on it where they spell out the first two numbers (Southside)and works better than most cell phones, so it seems. I never once uttered the words "You're breaking up, I'm losing you" while using the machine.
-
Yes we had them when I was a kid. My grandfathers old black one could have been used as a weapon it was so heavy.
-
I do and have a couple but they are not in use.

I not only remember rotary telephones, I remember telephones with no dial. An operator would say "number please" and then "your number please". I remember when the slimline dial phones came out with the movable finger stop. That allowed the dial to be smaller. I did not see touch tone until around 1965 when I was in the Air Force in Omaha.
-
I still have one and still using it
-
I dont have one but I remember them growing up. I remember how excited we were to get our first touch tone too! Kinda like when we got our first remote control and didn't have to have that big button cable box!
-
I had one in the kitchen until last week. I had the phone company remove it and install touch tone. A lot of phone services now won't work with rotary, especially call routers and digital phone service.
-
