    1965- "What did people do before telephone was invented?"
    2019- " What did people do before the internet?"

    I love it! I've lived through the rotary dial, the touch tone dial, the cell phone dial, the internet dial... who knows what's next!

      Hands free will be next. Voice commanding our TV, Alexa, wristwatches, and new voice activated devices, etc to make calls for us. Just an improvement on what we can already do. Alexa/Google technology is going to spread everywhere. That's what's next. We're going to get even lazier. Amazing that that's even possible.

    I grew up in a small farming community. We actually had an operator, like Mayberry, lol. As teenagers, we swore she was listening to us. I have a smartphone, but also still have a landline, with my ugly old green rotary phone. You just can't kill those damn things.

    Awesome video! Antiques are my #1 hobby. I still have a landline and a rotary-dial is hooked up to it. I also have a typewriter, record player (I'm quite proud of my record collection) & a huge TV from the 70's that's built into a wooden console, sits flat on the ground, and comes up to my waist. I have an original Nintendo hooked up to it, as well as my Roku--best of both worlds😀

    FYI...1965. Ma bell doing away with 8 party lines in rural areas. Still using some 4 party lines tho. Those phs still work fine as landlines today.

    LOL. I never knew half of this. We learn something new every day. I think my Mum worked for an exchange when she first started working but I think it was just a business one. It would be interesting to try but I'm glad it's simpler now, though Rotary phones are cool.
    Funny thing is I live in Australia and where in the US the ring is one single ring ours are split in half each time. I used to read books of people answering the phone on the fourth ring and got so confused because for us it sounds like 8 rings (each one half as long as the US ones). It took ages for me to work it out. I've always wondered why they are different.

      Grew up in a house that had a rotary dial phone in the 70's. An installer from the phone company replaced it with a touch-tone model in the early 80's.

      rocknroller 77 ....me too 😊! Didn’t the phones initially have the capability to be rotary or touch tone when they first rolled out the touch tone? I seem to recall that we could switch between the two, by a switch on the phone?
