In much the same way that people find new technology confusing at first, old technology can be both baffling and fascinating for younger generations – particularly if it’s still functional.
A TikToker named Leah – @lmhurd1 – has shared a video of her daughters using a landline for the first time, and it’s just joyous.
@lmhurd1 Throw back to a land line phone . #throwback #oldphone #nostalgic #amazing #kidsoftiktok #funny ♬ original sound – Leah
As much as the girls’ delight at the old-style phone, it also made people feel kind of ancient.
This is cool to see their excitement. It’s crazy how the younger generation will never experience some of the things we grew up with.
Name cannot be blank
We’re just as baffled on the flip side watching them as they are figuring it out!

As a dinosaur, this makes me happy but also very sad.

It had a similar effect on tweeters.

This is relatable.
When she asked "What do I do now?" after dialing the number, I died a little inside.
