News13 Segment – Slamming the Receiver: Why We Miss Old-School Phones!
We had some fun this week with the Tech Segment on News13 with Carsyn Currier even though a couple of mishaps made it even more fun. Live TV, What can you do! At least we take a step back in time as we explore the fun side of nostalgic technology!
From rotary phones and corded handsets to cassette tapes and even classic floppy disks, old-school gadgets are making a comeback in surprising ways.
I get to give a quick look at how the Cell2Jack device ($40) lets you connect your smartphone to a vintage rotary or corded phone via Bluetooth, so you can actually make and receive calls the old-fashioned way. Plus, check out the Van Sicklen handset ($20 at Target) for a cool retro vibe and that unmistakable ring.
Sometimes when I am going through the Videos I Find Screen Grabs which give me a good laugh at the Silliness that can happen, Always a lot of fun.
Whether you remember stretching cords across the living room or dramatically slamming the receiver to end a call, this segment is a reminder of why we love bringing back the past. Watch now and relive the charm of yesterday’s tech—updated for today.
