Default Re: Yesterday the power went out for several hours...

You'll get a laugh out of this. I just purchased a rotary phone because those work when the power is down. My 13 year old comes in and looks at it asking "What's that?" followed by "How does it work?" I had a good laugh and showed her telling her how this is what phones used to look like.

I was also looking for wind-up record player as we have some records stashed somewhere.

It used to be these electronic things didn't matter that much. Now much of life revolves around them in our culture.
