      A quick look on YT yielded no results on how to use a phone book. How can that be? One video showed milllenials trying to solve the problem but didn't have a step by step guide on how to actually do it. Was mostly just showing millennial flipping thru the books, frustrated.

    I had a similar situation recently when I was driving 3 hours through a network deadspot and my phone was dying. First no internet, no music, then no directions, no way to call for help, no idea where I was going, and no idea where the closest gas station was. Thought I was going to have to use the giant map my parents had stuck in the car years ago, the horror 😂

No calculators even except the squishy one in your head! And we even had a wind up gramophone player and pre vinyl discs. No idea they were made of but played at 78rpm. And life was often excruciatingly boring. Especially when it rained. And we were all smacked and sent to bed for arguing. 😅

      Older generations have had to adapt, too, so find it difficult to be without the Internet now. I went to a conference last autumn and was expected to download the organiser's app for the programme, but my smart phone was too old, so I couldn't. I had to rely on wi-fi access and the website. Luckily, there were printouts of the day's programme on arrival. If you put something on One Note in advance, you can access it without wi-fi or roaming data, but you need to keep your phone charged. I do back up on paper though.

    In Australia we just went through a nationwide fail of one of our major carriers. Businesses had to shut because eftpos didn't work. Gen Y & some Millennials were wandering around like zombies holding their phones in their hands searching for signals. Some looked up, wide eyed and used their weak voices to ask if anyone knew what was going on. Some started conversations. Some of us older people who listen to the radio had to break the news to them. There were queues down streets to get sim cards for other phone services that work. The CEO of Optus was questioned and asked how she coped on the day. She admitted she carried a back-up phone and sim from another provider because their systems aren't 100%. They handle emergency calls in Victoria mind you and hundreds of people couldn't get through to get an ambulance. She got fired. Probably paid millions though.

    Really enjoying the vibes the handheld brings. I know it's just to fit the horror style, but it actually sells the idea that it's shot in a real cottage (or at least a set that extends more than an inch beyond the edge of frame). I guess because even though you still stick to static shots, the looseness brought by the shakycam means the framing is still changing slightly.
    Also kudos to the set guru for the giant chip fork beams, very effective!

    • @IntensivePorpoise
