Rotary dial

As a child, I recall playing on a rotary phone and spinning the dial wheel repeatedly as I imagined I was calling my grandmother. Eventually, the technology in telephones changed and the invention of the push button phones came about; however, they were not near as fun to play on as the rotary dial.

Cell phones are one…

You can now probably find a Rotary in an average antique shop but it used to be a big new hit and everyone through that was amazing that you didn’t have to hold two different pieces to your mouth and ear. Today, we just expect new technology to come out every year or so but back in the 1960s and 1970s every advancement like the rotary was a big deal. Not too long after the rotary came out came the push-button phone which was the first phone that had a keypad to dial numbers. The keypad on the…

One’s Marriage, The Eye and Faith When texting someone, emojis are straightforward, with a laughing emoji symbolizing laughter and clocks representing a clock. On a heart rate monitor, a flashing heart would symbolize the human heart beating in real time. In short stories however, symbols are more ambiguous.

A nonfiction passage by Scott Peck “Life is Difficult” and Sherry Turkle’s “Flight From Conversation” both suggest how life is full of problems and technology diverts our attention from solving these problems and thus…

“Ignorance is bliss” - Thomas Gray. Most people don’t know how phones really work, and really don’t think twice when using one. This goes for all other technology from cars to calculators.

The itch is what people don’t think about, or don’t want to think about. People take today's technology for granted. Most never even take the…
