I'm only 35, but even when I was young (90s) the rotary phones we had were considered dated technology. (Pushbutton phones were more typical; cordless phones were the new thing.) Northeast US.
My mother still uses those rotary phones, BTW. Somehow the telco in her area still supports click-dialing. Incoming calls are great, every damn phone in the house rings simultaneously; sounds like a fire alarm.
