My bieber is underneath the concrete

I've already had an antique wall phone but they want too much money to upgrade them.I told them to kiss my ass you're all original

There's a couple of phonebooths not nor still existing but you don't see very many around today

I still have a landlines. Not rotary though.

During an earthquake, cell towers are knocked out of alignment and may not be in service for days/weeks depending on the severity of the quake and damage to the area. If you have access to a land line, you may not have local service, but long distance is generally unaffected. You can have a contact person out-of-state be your go-between who makes those local calls for you and then relays the info back. When I lived and worked in Tacoma, WA we all experienced cell phone outages for a few days after the 5.8 magnitude Satsop quake in 1999. Fortunately, most people still had land lines at home, and phones at work were unaffected.

I still have all of my cassette tapes from over 35 years ago, which have all of these custom-made remix singles on them, which were recorded from the radio over 30 years ago because I used to listen to the radio every Saturday night during the times when they used to have programs on the radio, switch features remix dance Classics because I remember recording things off the radio many years ago and today I still have all of those cassette tapes back at storage and today I’ve taken many of those cassette tapes and burn them onto my computer and so I can listen to them later on on electronic listening devices.

There is no Q on the first dial shown.

I guess to someone young this seems like a long time ago. But it hasn't really been that long.

Still use audio and video cassettes. Work great.

Quantum computers are on the near horizon and they will again change everything. Today a 16 character mixed password is considered secure enough, quantum computers will render any password shorter than 500-1,000 characters breakable. Actual real world graphics will finally become reality.

Brinkley had the most phoney smile in Hollywood……

What’s a pencil?

Better Beep

I still have my landline phone! Mobile phones will NOT WORK in disaster areas. People in my area are finding out the hard way after their power is out for over a week.

What is the 8-track? Chopped liver?

I still have a landline at my house also multiple land lines with multiple extensions at my business along with a fax machine that I use daily. I guess I’m a dinosaur who works with other dinosaurs.

Fax machines may be a bit more rare, but they can be used quite often still in some businesses

Cassettes are not remembered? If you owned one you would remember. The audio quality declined fast with each play. I would record from CD to cassette each week to keep the Walkman sounding good. Portable CD players were awful. The MP3 player was the solution to all of this.

What's even more obsolete is the BS clickbait on the thumbnail of this video.

Telex machine

a lot of companies still use fax machines and dot matrix 9 pin printers…. nothing new here….. because they are reliable……

Re pagers.
You forgot Hookers.
As well parents bought them for their kids.

phone booths still have purpose in some places due to situations.

I remember the computer classes ( ASDF JKL; ) finger placement …. The birth of the wink and smile.

Fax may be obsolete but because some information has to be sent on them

Somebody should talk about the sliding rule.

The fireman next door had a pager in the early 1960's. It was the size of a table radio and plugged in the wall. If he was needed at the Fire House, it would start repeating a series of beeps until he reset the button.

Used all of them myself as I was born in the late sixties, started school in the early seventies, high school in the eighties, started life in the nineties. The overhead classroom projector, gave me one of the funniest moments in high school. We had this teacher, she was slightly on the tall side, slim, nice body, pleasant faced red head, often smiling, and very friendly, she used to turn her back to the class, show the overhead projector and pick her nose, I was one of the few who noticed what she was doing, I would tell the kids but most wouldn’t believe me, until one day, after a good pick, her booger landed right on the projector, there was a booger the size of a hockey puck with hair sticking out of it, I began to laugh and right after, she dropped the f bomb, everyone laughed, she just casually, picked the thing up, told the class that laughter break was over and everyone just shut the hell up and listen.

I must be very old, because I remember all of those things and I still own few of them.

Me: " TRY me! "

My 2004 Toyota came with a factory installed cassette player when I bought it new in 2003. I remember my neighbor paid extra for touch tone telephone service. 20 years later, the phone company made touch tone service included for no extra charge, except for those that requested it and were already paying extra for. My neighbor still had the touch tone service charge on his bill. My rotary dial phone still works, so I continued to use it. I can dial faster on it than a touch tone phone, as my finger isn't used to the touch tone buttons and I'm not used to their placement.
