I'll DEFINITELY TAKE MY "BLINDSHELLCLASSIC3" ANY DAY, TOTALLY DESPITE ITS FAULTS!

The whole time, I'm thinking about how Ma Bell let freakers do all kinds of amazingly, insidiously cool things on a system that was supposed to be nineteenth-century foolproof. I will take my smartphone any day.

I'd CERTAINLY HATE to imagine what SMARTPHONES, which AT TIMES could be DUMB ENOUGH as it IS, would be like as "ROTERY!"

I remember dial phones very well. I was five years old when this video was made of course we didn’t have a TV to see this video but we only had one phone we lived in a house which side was my family and the other side was my grandmother. We had a little hole in the wall where we had to share the phone and yes, it was a party line

Interesting. A lot of operators must've lost there jobs with this technology.
