00:00No, I haven't had a landline probably for the last 10 years to be honest, obviously do at work, but no we don't have a landline.
00:10Tech from my youth, well my parents seem to hoard everything so I've still got my old boombox at my mum and dad's house.
00:18They've still got one of them phones?
00:20They've still got a proper old phone that you put your finger in and you're in it.
00:25I don't own any but my parents certainly own a lot of old technology.
00:29Don't use the house phone anymore, it is there, you just get nuisance calls on it and that's it, don't use it at all.
00:38Bring back writing letters and meeting up to have like a little fun time where conversations can be held instead of having conversations over the phone.
00:49I think mobile technology now has taken over so much of face-to-face conversation, meet and greet, fun times on the park and stuff like that.
00:57So bring back those times.
01:00Thanks.
01:02Thanks!
