I recently attempted to explain to my daughter how the phone used to work, and I’ve never felt like more of a fossil.

I had to explain what the dial tone is. She’s never heard a dial tone.

@cschrader Did you explain about how our computers used to scream at us when we connected via modems?

@jackbrewster I did not get to that yet, but I’m sure it’s coming

@cschrader In thinking about this, I'm surprised we never had a skeumorphic dial tone on phones so that people wouldn't think it was broken
