Posted for all those under... 45? 50?

Don't get me started on party lines. See my next lecture. #analong #phones #belltelephone
photo of a yellow landline phone with touch tone buttons hanging on a wall. "Hard to believe I once had a phone attached to a wall. When it rang, I'd pick it up without knowing who was calling. Amazing I'm still alive..."

Featured Movie of the Day:
Today's movie is Greasy Popcorn’s presentation of The Town and the Telephone, a 1950 American industrial film reminding us about the amazing value of the telephone in everyday life. Truly illuminating! youtu.be/wQ5-q8fAUHg

Featured Movie of the Day:
The #Apollo Moon Landing... 9/11... and the time that Dial Came to Town. These three historic moments will be etched in our collective consciousness for centuries.

Here’s a movie from the friendly folks at Bell Telephone about one of these events: youtu.be/y2yNxpx7IFg
