Well, damn. Seems that you know exactly what you're doing. ;-) My sister-in-law is a primary school teacher. Her kids LOVE flip phones at playtime. Amazing. I wonder if they would really go ape shit over rotary phones. And imagine if they were actually CONNECTED. That might blow their minds!
As for IMAX, the last time I went to see IMAX movies was in 1997 in Sydney. Needless to say, it was real IMAX. I also went to the Smithsonian in DC back in '85 where we did see one IMAX film there.
PS If you live in a 'new' country like Australia or New Zealand, it's a blessing to find things one hundred years old. I think Australia's oldest architecture is not much more than about 230 years old. Some of our artefacts are older, but imported. Not that the mere age of something is the only factor - I love Art Deco more than I do Baroque. And I love '70s houses a lot, when they're done right. Post-70s architecture, with very few exceptions, is awful, pretentious and dismal in every possible way.
