Life in Pre-Facebook Days: Memorizing Phone Numbers
As demonstrated in the video above, back
in the dark days before Facebook ruled the earth people who had trouble
memorizing their phone number would make up a silly song about it and
invite their friends to sing along. Crowds would form around a stage as
strangers gathered to listen and memorize the mysterious phone number.
Such tribal rituals replaced the ancient oral tradition and flourished
for a few decades until they were replaced by robotic ringtones on cell
phones.
