About a year ago, I was in an upstate NY antique shop. There was an old rotary phone (circa 1950s style). A young guy (maybe 20?) was studying it. Picked up the receiver, put it down. Then tried to use the rotary dial in a weird way. He couldn’t figure out how this all worked. I suddenly felt very old.
Boomer here. I send checks to my kids for Xmas because I have no idea what to buy for them. But that’s it. Pay the bills through the bank website. No more trying to balance a checkbook. The checks I have now will probably last until I die. …..which still could be 40 years if I’m lucky.
Maria is actually the code name for a nuclear bomb.
