To keep it, print it while it is open.
Long ago, grandparents used big heavy phones with a round dial and a curly cord. Then phones lost their cords, and now many people carry a small phone with a screen in their pocket.
Examples
- Ask a grandparent what their home telephone looked like when they were little.
- Look at a phone at home today and see if it has buttons, a cord or a screen.
Key takeaways
- Telephones have changed a lot since grandparents were children.
- Old phones had a dial and a cord; new phones have a screen and go everywhere with us.
