   @hankg just confirms my theory: I’m ancient.

     I guess it was inevitable that this would be considered an interesting factoid in a home remodeling show. Although I'd say it should have been prefaced with "up until the late-20th century." Wait till they find out we had massive books of phone numbers you had to flip through to try to locate a business or a person.

     @Nonya_Bidniss I can still remember my first phone number, my grandparent's phone number, etc. I have to think before I start typing my current phone number though lol.

     @hankg Remember when we remembered phone numbers?

     @alastair Right but the factoid is for viewers not the people in the video.

     @hankg@friendica.myportal.social All of those people look old enough to have been alive when landline phones were more common and they still exist today. I have one connected for emergencies.

     @heluecht @alastair I always flashback to VH1's "Pop-up Video" from the 1990s where they'd give you little factoids about the artist, song, or music video while the video played. For younger folks, we used to have a channel that just played music videos called "MTV" but then they never played music videos so they made another one called VH1 that eventually also never played music videos.
