There is a bizarre consequence that you have to remember all the phone numbers you want to dial or keep a paper contact book with you as well.
Relatedly, how many of you remember a bunch of phone numbers from your childhood. I can recite my best friend's home phone number, my home phone number from childhood, my dad's old office number, and my mom's cell number - despite all but 1 of those numbers having not been valid for 16 years.
Yet ask me to recite any phone number from when I got a cell phone onwards and I only know my own cell number and my wife's because I have to give them to other people or fill them into forms.
I wonder if these childhood phone numbers will continue to be retained / recitable when I'm much older.

- war1025 7y agoI just watched about five minutes of this video and unlike most odd tech I come across, I really kind of want this thing.
- stevewillows 7y agoI never thought I'd want a rotary phone with modifiers.

- kzrdude 7y agoI always think that learning my family's phone numbers would be essential crisis preparation. Yet I've never sat down and got it done, it's pretty embarrassing. Could you guys call your mother if you were found somewhere, with no phone? What would you do?
