It's all analogue and it's sequential.
Thank fuck the rotary diallers are gone, the key pads came in (tone dialling) and push button auto-redial became a thing.
And then came the mobile phones.... from house brick size to top pocket size
The main issue of dislike - is that rotary phone pulse diallers are SLOW to get numbers called....

Yes. But you Still have to *pick up* the receiver so you can dial.

I was thinking about this.... and they are thinking not interms of analogue citcuits and familiarity with the circuits and switching sequences and how the pulse dialer works, They don't know that lifting the receiver (microphone and head piece) also turns the SPNO (single pole normally open) switch to closed (calling circuit established to exchange), and then the pulse dialling sequence, runs the switches for the circuit selectors at the exchange, to switch through the array to gain the right connection. Where as the smart phone is kind of always on, and the phone function has to be selected and almost all calls are preselected number, "Call Bob" = Press Bob's name. They know about the operational sequence from the smart touch screen phone, but they don't know about the "mechanical" switching sequence from the manual rotary dial pulse tone phone.

I mean the Rotary (pulse) dial phone and system was REALLY good, it's basic, it's mechanical and it's robust.
But you have no idea what a fucking pain in the arse they are, to have to ring 50 numbers in a row on.....
And it surprises me that once the system was universally adopted, that no one ever came up with anything better or faster or automatically repeatable for decades - until tone dialling became a thing..... I mean they could have used a higher speed push button pulse generator, with a memory for redialling complete numbers.
