Your first Fisher-Price phone now works with Bluetooth

I hate to reply telephone. If you had tried to call me a few months ago, I probably wouldn’t have answered unless you had texted me first. (What are you, some kind serial killer?) But I’m much more inclined to pick it up now. Fisher-Price’s first plastic phone reminded me of a time when I loved and looked forward to long phone conversations, instead of dreading them.

It’s great to be born in the 90s. I can remember a time before technology was completely ubiquitous. I played with a box full of Barbies and Bratz Dolls in my room. When I go to bed, I just fall asleep, instead of scrolling through social media. My first cell phone was a tiny Tracfone that could only send a handful of messages before a few minutes were up. It’s for emergencies, not permanently stuck in my hands.

I’m not saying I’m going to throw away all my gadgets, but these times make me crave some sweet childhood memories. Import Fisher-Price talk phone.

Sweet dreams are made of this

Yes, that is that Small talk on the phone. It looks exactly like the toy I had when I was a kid. Its shiny plastic exterior is finished with an active rotating dial and movable eyes by its wheels. As the ad said, our first “mobile” phone is now a mobile phone.

Turn it on and a voice says, “Hello!” But instead of just playing fake, I can actually make phone calls with it. I have an old rotary phone and sometimes I rotate the dial just to satisfy a tactile need. But being able to use a real dial to call someone — without having to pay a separate landline fee — was not something I could do before.
