What was the lowest grade you were comfortable getting when you were in school? Did you ever get an “I”? School talk takes over. How many pass/fail classes have you taken? How many years should a phone get OS updates? When do you feel your tech is getting slow enough to replace it? Where is your plateau of use? Do you still have rotary phones laying around? The group walked down a corded phone memory lane. Do you remember when your family got a cordless phone? When was the last time you used a payphone?
