Roatary

I wonder, if I put a rotary phone in front of my 8th graders, how long it would take them to figure out how to dial it? I wonder if they've ever seen one in person?  I'm feeling a little nostalgic today as R.E.M. are no longer a band and Nirvana's Nevermind is celebrating the 20th anniversary of it's release.  Back when I was in middle school those two bands were a huge part of my world.  I'm glad I never had a cell phone to distract me.  What do you remember fondly from middle school?
