the odious politics behind Scream 7 aside, it's just a fact that the franchise never figured out how to adapt to cell phones. nothing hits like that landline. seeing an iPhone light up on the big screen immediately makes me 50% more bored

Not to mention the Reagan era Lifeline program that offers free or reduced cost landline service was updated during the G W Bush Administration to include cell service and internet service. Or as right wingers called it nearly a decade later, "Obama phones."

When the bubble pops
Cause you to weep and moan
When the AI drops
Like a dog without a bone

Better have a landline phone

My very elderly mother is tech illiterate, nearly completely blind, and very deaf even with hearing aids. She can only use a landline. She pays AT&T $118/month for it. That’s JUST for basic phone service, not a bundle with other services.

When they asked for a lawyer, they were denied access to the phone and told the landline inside the facility was down. They also reported others inside the facility were unable to contact their families.

The conference software selected the wrong mike, so I sound like I'm yelling into a landline telephone, but otherwise I had a terrific conversation with @superdan.net and @paulsgameblog.bsky.social of Wandering DMs.

I think everyone born before 1995 can check all 20 off this list. I completed this list by 1987 at 12 years old.
Things missing:
1. Blew into a Nintendo tape
2. Scared a friend by ringing their doorbell while on calling their landline with a cellphone.
3. Used a payphone
4. Watched music on MTV

I picked up a POP Phone from Native Union and join online meetings with it. I have been enjoying the quizzical looks from those too young to understand days of the landline. I got yellow to remind me of the Harvest Gold wall phone we had in my childhood home in CT

When paper magazines were a thing, people were note spending so much money for phones (I'm old enough to remember that my parents' landline phone bill was $8 per month), and TV was free. No expensive internet to pay for. No devices that constantly needed replacing.
People could afford magazines.

Sci Fi tech is usually just a reflect of what's going at the time of the stories creation. I love seeing shit like big ass crts, landline telephones, and GameBoys still out there in space

This (hopefully quite obviously, despite an email I just received) is fiction BUT it did come from a real life memory of, not long after my parents got their first landline, a mysterious frail voice repeatedly calling us and saying, "There's a light on at the house. I think someone is inside."
"Once we put enough years between us and our past, and the world fills up with shiny clutter, is it not also our destiny to think of our early lives as something at least slightly sparse and ghostly?"

Would you pick up the phone? Not your smartphone, but the landline, this is the late 90s after all. 📞
