Right, sadly even teens don't really recognise them anymore since there's literally no example of such a phone anywhere. I still have one stored away :)
Please comment on an aspect of the movie where the W.O.P.R. calls David back after he hangs up on it thank you. How did the the system know how to call back?
It's so much easier to make fun of the outdated technology of the time, because nowadays, with the brutal and fragile advancement of this same technology, we laugh a little less.
Would program languages such as Fortran and Cobalt be sort of secure since no one now knows how to use them very well. It would take some research and time to relearn them
That doesn't really matter as you barely work with source code when you're "hacking". Compiled code looks essentially the same. Nowadays we just have more hardware architectures (x86, ARM, AVR, PowerPC, ...). Btw: Cobol is still in wide use in the financial sector since they still use ancient systems and software.
But, the cold war was between the USA and the UdSSR and essentially started with Korea. The US backed the south while the SSR backed the north. In the far history there has been countless of wars and conflicts. With the end of WW2 the world had a quite long time of "almost" no big conflicts. Don't get me wrong. There has been many horrible conflicts in the last 80 years, but compared to the times of kings and emperors it was almost nothing. So I really don't want to downplay what happened in the recent history. Though things have certainly changed. Wars look quite different nowadays. Partly for the better and partly for the worse.
Direct quote "I believe no system is totally secure" same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Toy Stores still sell a preschool toy that is a plastic rotary phone for kids to play with.

A wardialer won't work with an acoustic coupler modem. Nothing hangs the phone up.

Would today's children know of a card catalog system?
I miss those days when we had one main enemy Russia not today with Russia, China, North Korea.
