    2:31 No wonder Western Electric phones are some of the toughest pieces of technology in the world.

    9:00 Now the irony is: you call AT&T and "your call is very important to us, please hold...."

    A telephone number on a business card? Bold choice, but I doubt it'll catch on.

      if people don't start talking to each other again we're going to end up a mute species with overly developed thumbs.. It's insane!

    I give lessons in how to use phones. When I get a call, I ask the caller who they're calling. If they don't know my name, I inform them I'm on the National Do Not Call Registry, and I hang up.

      I had the same reaction: who ever heard of cheese 🧀 with apple pie 🥧?? It's apparently a Yankee thing. Where I'm from, ice cream makes a better pie topping.

    73 years later and "The Boss" is still yelling at his slaves.

    The irony is that now it is possible to answer a telephone too promptly. The idea is that if you call a business and they answer too quickly it will catch the caller off guard. Today you should let the phone ring once or twice before answering.

    AT&T can't spelll wurds write? At 26:01, "too" not "to." They're at&t, they don't care, they don't have too.
