Phones in the 1960s moved away from the rotary style and introduced push buttons.

Growing up in the 80s, we had a rotary dial wall phone. If it ain't broke, don't fix replace it.

I had one of those in my garage in the 2000’s. It came in handy, too, when our power was out. The landline phone in the house required a separate power connector, but the garage phone just relied on the current through the telephone system and still worked.

We had a rotary dial wall phone also. And for awhile we were on a party line.
