Going old school means different things to different generations. For some of us, it means rotary phones. For others, it means cell phones and not smartphones.
That huge stack of bound pages had every number we’d ever need, and if it was unlisted, you were just out of luck. We used to get the phonebook delivered in the mail once a year.
Making the perfect playlist from the radio while pausing over commercials and recording again when our song came on is nothing compared to what kids can do today with software. And oh the pencil trick...too good.
Remember when the most awful thing you ever had to do was untangle the snarl that was your phone cord? It got all twisted up, and you could never figure out how to get it quite right again.
Kids today will never experience the true accomplishment of blowing into a game cartridge and finding that it finally worked again.
