A rotary dial is far from intuitive. Chronological snobbery is a two-way street.
“A rotary dial is far from intuitive.”
Really? What teenage boy doesn’t want to put his finger into a hole and spin it?
“A rotary dial is far from intuitive.”
Which is why it worked so well long before the several generations of idiots were born?
Please. You have to know to dial clockwise until you hit the stop and then release it. And then wait until it returns on its own, you can’t just pull it back. None of this is at all intuitive.
How many of you chronological snobs would have any idea of how to operate a 1940’s vintage tabulator without instructions?
You should see them with a vacuum tube radio.
