Does Anyone Still Use One Of These Today

A phone that you cant move around and plugged into a wall ...today we take it absolutely everywhere

A camera we thought took Amazing photos , but first you had to purchase the film , take the photo's either 12, 24 or 36 then take it to the chemist to get it developed which cost an arm and a leg , then wait aweek or more to find out if they turned out. Today, they are instant, they are free and better photos.

Cassette Tapes you purchased with music on them as well as blank ones that you record on yourself , then they got chewed up in the tape recorder , Out came the pencil to try and rewind and hopefully fix it.

Now the phone , the camera and the music all comes together in a small item...YOUR PHONE

Yes fondly remember all those things and how disappointing the photos were when you chopped off someone's head or it was out of focus! My parents had a green plug in phone and it was much loved by their budgie who used to fly over and land on the table next to the phone and talk to it! We could pick up a faint buzzing sound from the phone and thought the budgie was replying to it.
