How Manhattan's Area Code was Influenced by the Rotary Dial
This weekend I dropped and broke my iPhone. When I picked it up, I realized that I didn't even know how I could someone from another phone since I don't know their digits. I would have had to find an internet computer with a browser, log on to iCloud, and look up the phone number I needed.
Lots of wear and tear if you have to drag the dial most of the way around, twice, just to dial an area code.
