Things peak and then have nowhere to go but down. I see what you're saying. I just don't see the world reverting to pre-computer technology. You wait. When your computers all fail, you'd better be one of the first four dozen to crawl to me for a rotary phone. Four dozen?

My Grandfather had a rotary dial phone in his home office when I was small, similar to this. No idea what material it was made of, but it wasn’t plastic,…and it weighed a ton!

Wonder why Dad’s shirt changed colors from panel one to three?

I’m prepared! I have an abacus and two slide rules!
(And speaking of all the computers failing, I’m really ticked with the non-finalizing series finale of “Revolution”. I should have known they couldn’t return electricity to the world in a one-hour episode, let alone tie up all the other storylines.)

using the rotary dial phone – will anyone be able to remember phone numbers and how to dial after all these cell phones?

I like rotary ‘phones, and I have one, but that won’t do me any good if the computers that control the exchanges fail. Abacus and slide rule, yes, they’ll work.
