My nephew asked me what a 'busy signal' was yesterday

I was trying to explain calling someone on a landline and he just stared at me. It hit me how much basic stuff from just 20 years ago is totally gone now. Does anyone else get those weird moments where you realize you're explaining ancient history?

He didn't know what a landline was?

Keep a cheap corded phone plugged in somewhere. Kids need to see the actual hardware. Show them the curly cord and the wall jack. It clicks when they see it all connected.
