[Hobby Scuffles] Week of October 31, 2022

Rotary phone? Huh. As a millennial I have never even seen a working rotary phone, let alone used one. I thought they were gone long before my time. Same with typewriters. I'm on the younger end of the millennials though (I feel like we've been somewhat forgotten about!).

I don't think I ever used AOL either but my family did have dial-up up until probably 2007. And I was the main user of our desktop computer so I had to troubleshoot a lot, like figuring out how to get rid of viruses. I was using command lines when I was 12 - not difficult by any means (I don't consider myself especially good with computers), but I don't think my younger siblings would have any idea what that even is. Now even if you are still using a computer it's all so easy that you just don't need to learn that stuff.
