SMH about kids nowadays. Most of us here are old enough to remember that we had to dial 0 for the operator for emergencies and to get a long distance call.

Bet if you asked these kids to dive a stick shift they would probably kill the transmission.

How about you do some math with a slide rule and then get back to me on this?

Why the frick should they have to know how to do this? Where the frick would you find a rotary phone these days? Do you know how to send a telegram via Morse code?

Enjoy your false sense of superiority.

Why don't you try to use a cotton gin or send a telegram and get back to us. Sorry kids can't use inferior and obsolete technology.

You're an idiot

shite, I'm getting close to 40 and the only time I ever used a rotary phone was as a kid at my grandma's house. I don't know why a teen these days should have any idea.

That said, I still know how to use one.

And I learned how to drive on a stick shift.

You expect a teenage in 2018 to know how to use a rotary phone?

Honestly why does it matter?...It's obsolete technology.
I don't know how to operate a telegraph machine and I'm surviving pretty well these days.

Goddamn, man. Y'all need to lighten up. It's just a humor piece on young people using old technology, not some "get off my lawn" generation war. Christ almighty.

It’s the OP, not the video. I think she’s trashy.

If you've never seen something before, why would you be expected to know how it works?

Manual Transmissions are still being produced and people are still buying them. You just have severe old man syndrome
