Yeah, but new old people bring their habits from younger years like not using phone for making private calls.

- topspin 4y agoYou'll need a few years yet for that. Most old people around today used rotary phones unironically.
- kelnos 4y agoHell, I'm not even that old (41), and we had a rotary phone until 1988 or so. We also had a touch-tone cordless phone, but the corded phone in the kitchen was still rotary. I expect there are even younger people than I who used rotary phones as kids.
- xxs 4y agoThat would depend on the country, yet I'd consider late 30s to be the age. Also I am using the phone daily to call anyone - family, coworkers. It'd appear, around here, the ear buds have not caught up.
- LinuxBender 4y agoEven rotary cell phones [1] I'm old but that is too much for me. I just bought my first smart phone and spent a while in developer mode quieting it down to extend battery life so some old people can do this.

- topspin 4y ago> so old people can do this Some can, many won't. Eye sight and dexterity problems have a lot to do with this. When you can't see and your hands shake it's a lot easier to just "hey google call so-and-so."
- LinuxBender 4y agoFair point. Edited my comment to include some.
