I think I want to go back to one phone in a house, attached to the wall by a rope. A mobile that consolidates all the mobile phones in the family to one. Everyone gets each others messages and all.

I was on a Reddit thread about 90s nostalgia and someone said they missed when growing up you would call your friend’s home and their mom or dad would answer so you say a quick hi / catch up with them before they pass it over

I like this. There seems to be a slow burn realization that some built in inefficiency and awkwardness is where a lot of life’s good stuff happens. Strategically placed inconvenience could be a fun design prompt.

Ahh we had a phone in the kitchen and a phone in my parents’ room that connected to the same line. So every time I chatted with a friend, my dad would pick up and listen in! Glad to have my own device now 😌

I was thinking the exact same. During the holidays, our daughters introduced the no reading phones or tablets and we all had to ask “permission” to call or text (communicate with the outside world). It was glorious. Now we’re back in our silos and it’s not as heartwarming.

Looking back, the little things of this era connected families more than the current “Tech Silo Age”. Eg, all watching TV in same room with same limited choices. One answering machine. One hanging wall calendar.
