Try saying that when using it in real life, making many calls daily, with an exchange such as 908-.

Then, the tone dialer appears.

I was not interested in interacting with my telephone. I just wanted it to place calls.

The question was about FUN, not about making many calls daily.

What a strange response. The point is, repetitive usage shows the difference between fun, or just novel.

A rotary phone could be novel. Yet it became tedious with common use, especially when compared to tone dialing.
