Ah, yes, because nothing screams "cutting-edge innovation" like sticking your fingers in a rotary phone for 48 hours during a festival named after soup. 🥣🔧🎶 Clearly, the future of tech is all about reinventing 1950s technology to play Spotify playlists with more wires than sense! 🚀📞😂

Mein altes #50erJahre #PTT #Wählscheibentelefon aus der #Schweiz durfte nach über 10 Jahren wieder aus seiner Kiste raus ans Netz.
Dank einer alten #fritzbox7490 die ich heute als Repeater angeschlossen habe, klingelt es nicht nur, sondern wählt auch wieder!

🤔 Ah yes, because nothing says cutting-edge journalism like a thrilling exposé on the #etymology of "hello"! 📞 Meanwhile, somewhere in the #BBC newsroom, someone is desperately clinging to their antique rotary phone, marveling at how far we've come from "hullo"... riveting stuff. 🙄

🎉🚼 Oh, look! Someone reinvented the rotary phone for toddlers! Because what every three-year-old *really* needs is the ability to call Grandma in Timbuktu without the distractions of those pesky screens and apps. 📞🌍 Who knew the future of #communication was a Fisher-Price landline? 🤦‍♂️

I still have the “phone bug.” Spent part of tonight cleaning my grandparent’s old 1972 Stromberg-Carlson 500D rotary phone, which used to live in their basement. I remember hearing this thing ring throughout their house before they upgraded to a VoIP line with modern Panasonic cordless phones. Stay tuned to see the “finished” product versus the grimey original. #rotaryphone #telephone

Seems cool. I'm sure there's other means of doing the same thing though.

My diary has reminded me that in 1989, when I was living in #Albany during the week and #Syracuse on the weekends, I would have to go to a payphone down the block from my Albany apartment to check the messages on our Syracuse answering machine – because the Albany phone was a rotary dial and couldn't send the tones used to check messages.

In case you kids wondered what it was like when dinosaurs walked the earth.
