Pumps' Perplexities

Assumption is a word I dislike........

You get a telephone call, which is computer generated and
controlled, and the "voice" asks you to either "press #1 or
press #2", etc.......That is pretty tough to do on an olde
rotary Ma Bell telephone, which I bought for $26 back in
1987 and have not had a moments problem with......It's a
good olde kitchen wall telephone.....Remember them......

Here we are, only twenty years later, and every "Boomer,
X'er or Y'er" thinks that everybody in the world has
a touch tone telephone, cell phone or Blackberry.......

No thought, thus the word assumption, is ever given to
the fact that you still are living and conducting your
normal life with something that has not been obsoleted
by the "tech generation"......They still make photo film
for cameras, why not have a "note" on a telephone call
that, "If you have a rotary phone, please DIAL "O" for
operator"?.......

But I guess these new generations just can not comprehend
the world of "rotary", much less "party line".......Pumps
