Want to guess someone’s age? Just ask them what kind of phone they used growing up, and you can usually pinpoint the answer within a few years. Maybe you remember sharing a phone line with your family or even your neighbors, staying up late chatting on a party line. Maybe you grew up using a rotary phone, twisting a cord around your finger while you chatted, or you had a giant wireless landline and could roam about the house freely (as long as you didn’t wander too far).
Many of those old gadgets you may remember growing up with (rotary phones, cassette tapes, pagers) are obsolete today, but still live on as symbols, such as the “save” icon in Microsoft Word, which is modeled after a floppy disk. But not all them are gone for good. Fashion is cyclical, and that includes technology. Some of those “prehistoric” gadgets are making surprising comebacks today.
