Not so fast there RK. Four or five years ago (maybe seven or eight, now that I think about it), when the hurricane hit us, the
only phone that would work in the house was an old black rotary phone. Regular button phones wouldn't work, wireless phones wouldn't work, and cell-phones would only work if you got lucky. I brought the old workhorse up from the basement and my daughter took one look at it and said "what's that?" I asked her if she had ever heard the term "dial the phone" and then proceeded to teach her how to do just that. Nothing like "old school" technology when everything else was failing around us. It did seem like it took forever to dial numbers that had nines and zeros in them though.
