The elevator did it

People nowadays have no idea how sensitive electronics used to be.

Remember when you couldn’t use anything electronic on a plane in case it interfered with the planes control systems.

Remember when audio systems used to make a noise when your phone received a text or phone call.

How about wifi failing when someone turned the microwave on.
