Just what we need at our age — the Old-Phone!



A Gr8T Idea or what?

How are we supposed to dial that thing? You'd need an infant's fingers to fit the holes. Designed for seniors, huh?

I'm assuming the joke is the idea that seniors miss rotary phones. If you look closely at the black ring around the rotary dial on the left side near the man's thumb, it's obviously a doctored photo with the dial pasted over a cell phone.

However, if you wanted to make a real one, just have the phone be voice activated, and then the dial would miraculously spin itself to dial the number.

Convenience and nostalgia. Plus it should be affordable on a fixed income. Very Happy

Yeah, the pointed end.
