I’ll truly be impressed when our phones connect us to the Transporter. Beam me up please (yes, I also remember rotatory dials and phone numbers that started with letters and not numbers)
I’ve often wondered if fans of “The Andy Griffith Show” think it incredible that Sarah, the telephone operator, was always on duty at all hours of the day and night. Well, I’ve met one of those old-time operators. She’d go to church on Sunday morning and to the grocery once a week, but otherwise…well, her switchboard was in her living room, and it was her life. Needless to say, she had never been married.

So old, it’s new. Retro cell phones are having a popularity boom. Imagine, talking to someone by phone as it’s sole purpose!

Ironic that this comic in my line-up follows The Born Loser which was also talked about dated technology.
