Retro Tech Tuesday: Push Button Phones!

The old trusty rotary phone had quite a life. Some people continued to use them through the 1990's and probably beyond. But as this 1963 clip shows, it never stood a chance compared to the sheer speed of the push button system. Never mind there's really no way of knowing what number these two are trying to dial, just know that the big lights on the wall indicate you'll save minutes, heck hours of your life by making the switch to push button!

Who here grew up with a rotary phone? Do you feel jealous that those dang push button (touchtone) kids get to go and play, instead of spending time dialing!?
