In the shuttle bus to the airport, Veronica, Mike and I shared our nostalgia from decades past. Do you remember rotary dial telephones that had a hard wire to the wall, typically no more than a few feet long? You had to sit or stand right next to the phone to talk to someone. For a seven digit telephone number, it could take up to thirty seconds to dial, particularly if they were all high numbers. The rotary return took longer to unwind than winding it, and you couldn’t force it to move faster. SsshuNK, clicka-clicka-clicka-clicka. SssshuNK, clicka-clicka-clicka. Etcetera.
