My 12 year old nephew and 10 year old niece were visiting Grandma and were very interested in her rotary dial telephone... they had never seen one and asked how does it work... both kids have Apple 6S phones.
So I showed them and they made a call and were fascinated it still works...
Then I tricked them by calling the number and both jumped so high I thought they were going to hit the ceiling... the old Western Electric bell ringer startled them...
They then asked why Grandma didn't have a cell phone and Grandma said she wouldn't know how to use it... too many things to push... she has had the same phone and number 50 years.
