I know how to use a rotary phone because....why wouldn’t I? It’s a fucking phone, not exactly complicated to use.

I can imagine that if I put a rotary phone in front of a 12 year old who'd never seen one before, they'd work it out pretty quickly but they might be confused at first when you consider there's now lots and lots of people who don't even remember cell phones having physical buttons (other than for volume and power).

I'm a millennial born in '87, rotary phones were still pretty common at that time.
