Rotary phones exist in my HOUSE!
Two of them, in fact.

Not all of the skills they list are truly obsolete. Rotary
phones still exist in a few places. (We saw one last night in a
movie set in Mexico.)

I had a nightmare a couple of nights ago in which I was desparately attempting to dial a rotary phone before something bad happened. I recall waiting impatiently for each number to cycle. Don't know what the bad thing was, but I suspect it was the phone!

our new house.

I have a slide rule on display in my living room bookshelf.
I also have a complete architectural/ structural drafting tools set.
I used to have a rotary phone (on display) as well, but I don't think I
do anymore.
I used to practice using hookflash to dial rotary phone pulses. It's a
useful trick if you ever need to dial 911 and the dial is broken.
