That would at least expose them to a demonstration of how to dial a phone number. Yikes! Warning to all you genders....get off your cellphones and teach your kids something, and fast. They need to know a lot more than hate and that's all they seem to have been exposed to. |

Posted by Spider-Pig on Fri Nov 8 15:57:08 2019, in response to Re: Two teenagers attempt to use rotary telephone, posted by bingbong on Fri Nov 8 14:59:08 2019. How many movies focus on the dialing of a number? That shit is usually edited down or deëmphasized, because nobody wants to spend 2 hours watching mundane crap.The only movie that shows how to dial a phone is Dial M for Murder. So they didn’t see that one. Too bad, but BFD. There is no need whatsoever to teach kids how to dial a rotary phone. Maybe we should teach kids how to use a muzzleloading rifle, or teach them how to churn butter. |

But my point is it’s not a universal skill.NOTE: I took a class once that explained muzzleloaders and demonstrated one (no loading/firing). I didn’t know they made modern ones. Cool. |

Yes, but modern phone keypads (in the “phone” app) still have letters on them.Nobody has commented on the fact that these dumbasses tried to dial without picking up the phone. Which means they can’t even use a regular modern landline touch tone.* That’s why I agree with Bill that they’re retards. And yet they somehow though that picking up and putting down the receiver “reset” the phone after a misdial? Have these jackasses ever heard a dial tone in their life? *Office phones tend to allow dialing before pickup. |

Earlier I had claimed that it was a useless skill to teach and should be treated as a hobby. IIRC, AlM disagrees and claims that it’s faster to write cursive and should be taught for that reason. |

I would argue it is faster but still useless for the number of times you would need it.Signatures also need to be obsoleted. Why does an illegible squiggle on a piece of paper still authorize its contents in 2019? |
