My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.
@emilyaviva My kids we're just playing with one these phones still in service at my parents. They loved it! Somehow we'd already taught them what an old phone is.
They also listened to records on my grandma's victrola. Sadly I couldn't get to the old floppy disks so they'd recognize what a save icon is.
