To all the old-timers laughing at the clueless kids who can't work a rotary dial phone, don't you be feeling so superior unless you know how to work one of these!

And as is predictable we have many freepers come along and say the kids are stupid, uneducated, lazy , yadda yadda yadda.

You know what you grumpy old farts? Operating a dial phone is not something you are going to know how to do if you never used one. The way the rotary phone works is so fundamentally different than anything kids today have used they can’t be expected to know how to use it.

How many of you old bastards know how to drive a Ford Model T? I bet none of you can just jump in one and figure out how to use it. Does that mean you are stupid? Our grandfathers knew how.

Here is a newsflash you doddering old goats: MOST kids are actually pretty smart. MOST kids are actually good kids.

Now get off my lawn!

My students would ask me “What time is it?” with a huge wall clock sitting right there in the front of the classroom. I’d point to the clock and they’d shake their heads. “I don’t know how to tell time with that!”
