ah, a time when a phone call was something to be excited about.
The excitement was about the answering machine, not the telephone itself
@@Shadow__X
You're right and wrong. I'm pretty sure one would purchase said phone thinking it's not possible but then when they actually hear another voice they'd be surprised by the technology of their time
Why not just send a text or an email?
And calling someone to prank them
That homebrew answering machine is probably the most "British eccentric genius" thing I've ever seen. Utterly brilliant.
@Adolf Hitler Shut up, you're literally Hitler!

@will triumph First British, then stolen and made cheaper (and more reliable).
ive still got one and i use it all the time.
It litterally looks like its made of meccano
"For tomorrow is the robot age" just how amazing it is to think what the concept of "Robot" was back in the 50s -60s
Robot is drawn from an old Church Slavonic word, robota, for “servitude,” “forced labor” or “drudgery.” The word, which also has cognates in German, Russian, Polish and Czech, was a product of the central European system of serfdom by which a tenant’s rent was paid for in forced labor or service.
Welcome to the cyber age by watching old films online where people actually still had jobs that weren't stolen away by the AI. I bet the elderly didn't have this in mind when thinking of the concept of a robot back then. Well, they're retired, so they obviously don't care.
Young lady soldering without an extraction hood - Madness!
can you imagine the headache at the end of the day?
Deliciously outdated in every aspect! Lovely!
Updated in every way.A zero or a 1 - is still the same.
Well in
My country people are still living like that
yet still quality
No.
I would prefer this
I can only imagine the health problem those women had breathing lead fumes all day for decades
Its not lead its tin
@@glede2097 it's leaded solder
Well most of the visible fumes are rosin, but still, this was the same thing I thought of when I saw that scene with the lady soldering covered by that big cloud of smoke...
Can't wait for this to come out, the trailer looks so good!
I love this sort of stuff, it has an odd nostalgic feel to it even though it's way before my time. Sometimes I wish I was born in that era. Now days any time I have an idea it already exists lol.
Maybe because you are stupid? ;-))
@@igorovcharov7424 , you are the one
@@seradginasuioloer8727 Not the ability to connect to the information field unambiguously characterizes a person as superficial. Such people are usually called stupid.
Аny more questions?
@@igorovcharov7424 stupid is rude word. Stupid is like an expression of mad about something bad happened because the cause of the lack of knowledge of someone or something. Like war it could be prevented, but it happened. I think the right word for you to use is, "I disagree".
Maybe bcos u are nuts, born in that era of hardship?
That invention in the beginning, legitimately looks like it was built out of a Gilbert Erector set.
Pretty sure it was lmao.
Look how micro electronics have changed our lives in a relatively short time.
Imagine that guy playing the tape and: Good day Sir. We have a new internet plan to you. 50gb for 9,99+.
Internet Service Providings... To cost you less cash money!
1:33 imagine working every day and breathing this air
my thoughts. doing a solder every day once or twice without a good extractor hood okay, but this.... Their soldering all day long with the fumes straight over their face. This is for sure giving u lung problems already on the short term, yet alone the long term... and back then with leaded solder...
That doesn't smell good
They would end like this :
😳
@@raymondk2202 Generally speaking today's lead free solder flux is worse than one used in leaded solder. Btw, you're not inhaling lead or any other metal if you breath lead solder's flux fumes.
@@ToolDroid wrong, rosin fumes are actually quite pleasant :)
In the 50s women worked in tech interesting
Ya because earlier women were oppressed. But now due to constant screaming by feminists all over the internet while sitting in the couch and putting false rape allegations on anyone, women are finally getting lifted up in the society.
@@mfx1 yeah that sounds like a made up accusation there bud, mabye think about how after the war more women occupied jobs that men used to have
@@Tr3yM34 Yes they had more jobs because of the was but they still weren't tested equally.
Because Men Were In War.
@@tandem976 nope the gpo prefered women in their production lines as they were better at the job. they were more productive than men where and paid thus. and dont say "Oh iT wAs BcAusE oF tHE wAr" because the gpo had been employing women in the 30s as telephone operators and production technicians.
That green telephone is so beautiful!
i love how the women are just breathing in those soldering fumes......ahh the good old days
How can you love that ? Weirdo
@@shekhar81 r/woosh
that was pretty ambitious move saying it "one small box"
I was small... compared to other boxes of electronics of the day!
"That by the way is an oscilloscope" those are still the star of the show
“For tomorrow is the robot age!” Such enthusiasm. Most, including the narrator could have never imagined their jobs would be completely taken over by AI.
Charming in a way. However I get so antsy when I see the soldering stations and those fumes just going straight into the workers face like that. Nothing like a good, healthy fume of leaded solder to brighten up ones day!
I immediately thought that too... + a few thoughts on why they use overheated soldering irons in what is supposed to be a factory with standardized equipment :)
@@jassenjj I think at those times "temperature regulated" soldering stations were not available..🤷♂️
And now a days temperature regulated soldering iron is very cheap because of availability of cheap micros(STM32, Atmega all series etc)
@@SAHILKHAN-lu8oq Actually 1959 is the year in which Weller introduced the magnastat technology.
I thought that too, a good healthy dose of lead and rosin flux fumes. 😷
And nowadays with all the achievements and accomplishments we got people it is not content and without the soldering fumes we are dropping like flies, life is a cycle.
that doctor who invented that message machine could be a scientist too 😂
I love the smell of the flux, but... poor girls. They inhaled these toxic steam for years
what a marvelous robot 🤖
I was born in 1950 and still live in this era
You Must Have Used This Phone..
@@gautamk381 Ours were black
@@woodwaker1 I haven't even seen that thing..
A friend of mine has an old USSR radio. 1956 year. Produced in a limited series for Stalin's anniversary for VDNH in Moscow. Circulation ~ 6000 pieces. Semi-digital. Remote control. Adjustment of tuning and volume with servos. )
Have you got a picture of it ?
I remember my uncle having a Latvian Rigonda Sinfonia II radiogram in the 70s which was made in the 60s. That had motorised autotuning. I was always mesmerized by it.

Funny I am watching this on my smartphone. Someone called but I just ignored it and checked my voicemail.

It feels awesome.
When there are no Wars, Us Humans can Achieve everything nice.
Lmfaooo, the Vietnam war was going on
Wars actually promote a lot of innovation in the technological field
Technicians inhale great amount of soldering fumes!
Mmmmm lead smoke , those were the days
The smoke from soldering is from flux which is embedded in the core of the solder, which is usually rosin (solidified tree sap). It helps to clean the metals being soldered so the solder adheres properly. The lead in tin-lead solder isn't vaporized at all, or just in very tiny, trace amounts. Still, working in a factory all day breathing in soldering fumes is harmful, more from the smoke from the burning flux than from lead, though it does result in some lead exposure. Back in those days a person would get much more lead from the polluted air from leaded gasoline than from soldering.
@@brainndamage when the first reply is a phd level answer
still is in my room. i do vent out the window.
0:12 30 years later and this would’ve been the start of a TV infomercial for answering machines 😆
old is gold 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Now a neno-meter chip can do everything. Can't Imagine what comes after 50 years, when we become old.
This music kinda make hug my wife from the back while she is cooking , and i don't even married.
your english makes it even funnier
Your English is frightfully bad 😂
Hello iam underwater plz help me
You don't even English either
then how is she your wife, if youre unmarried?
"I'm sorry, but the phone company you have reached is not a working phone company! Please hang up, and do not try again!"
Love this!!!
I addicted to the background music
That girl voice is legendary ...most of the pre-recorded message today not much different from her tone of voice
Lovely how old things work. I have a Soundblaster in my keyboard for music.
It was all worth it to stop him putting up that hideous wallpaper
Now we walk around on cell phones stepping into buckets n sh*t! 🤣🤣🤣 Genius invention btw! 🍻
the dude was a barber yesterday
now his a wall designer👏👏
That’s how it was before the audio messaging went mainstream
So? Anyone hear- knows " OHM'S law?
@@peggyfranzen6159 I know resistance is useless if it's less than 1 ohm. I'll see myself out! :-P
До чего техника дошла! =)
I absolutely loved this video!
I am definitely looking forwards to the future now.
"Small box"
cant imagin how a huge Box looks like
At that time everything that was smaller than a refrigerator was considered small.
I love this gem channel.
Imagine 50 years from now people would be laughing at our smart phones.
Either that or fumbling around in a dystopian wasteland wishing they had something as advanced as a cigarette lighter or a decent pocket knife
Сомнительно. Скачок от стационарного аппарата к мобильнику произошел за счет минимизации полупроводников. Что еще тут возможно? Запихать аппарат связи в зубную пломбу? Чипирование? Телепатия все равно не будет изобретена.
0:41 I wish I could dial 4 numbers and get to the personal desk number of a goddamn doctor.
Also in 4 short years after this, we had the music of Jimi Hendrix. 8 years after that, The Eagles.
Broo if they could see our phones, their jaws would be on the floor for an entire month
O my God i love his voice
Oh lord those solder fumes!
Pandemic made me watch all this old films about how life got easier and what is inside of all these new gadgets. I wonder what will be the next round.
And now we have a fully computer in your hand
Very thorough and good video!
Un chip! Agotado en busca de semiconductores!!!!!!👓😂
Wow! It’s very modern
Yeah, like Edison, Einstein, and Swiss Miss.
"Swiss Miss" lmao
Excellent
Lol I'm watching a video from '59 about an answering machine the size of a toaster oven, on my phone that's the size of a pack and a half of cigarettes by one cigarette thick.
The camera quality is amazong consirdering this was recorded in1959
The robot answer phone. I want one 🥰
Loved it ❤️
Like the use of Meccano 😎
It's amazing!
It all feels like a Disney movie.
bc Disney is one of the few film makers that has survived till today
Amazing technology
It's so lovely to see the fast
🤔 yeah... the slow isn't very interesting
The answer phone can answer back, but it mustn't be rude.
Twitter was clearly beyond human imagination in those days!😂
Woow..amazing
OMG! I did not wanted this video. I needed it!
Super History!!!
Wow, look at all the Rosin fume when she was soldering. I wonder how many of them had asthma or other breathing issues later on...
For tomorrow is the robot age! 60 years later and we still don't have any robots :(
No problem for me.
" The President's Analyst"- is hilarious, anyone up for the honest question? Why not be a human being who can for him or herself speak! Algorithms, I knew that @ MT.Prospect high school( What a total fraud.Yes.) So, for some sobering news.Our country and government is going the same way of the Roman empire.Take a look @ your pennies.They are not made of copper, only a thin layer above white metal.Give Morgan, and friends- all citizens reply" No Kidding."
We have a lot of robots. "Ok google", "hey siri", "alexa". We can google anything in seconds. We can bring our computers to anywhere, with it inside our pockets. We are already in the future. For people from that time, this is more than enough to be really good.
You got your Twitter and your Windows 10. You don’t need no damn robots, especially those sentient ones that could be your friend like in those dystopian movies. ...I want my money back.
Well we do got robots but not those super advanced sentient one.
Better than smartphone
Much much better then cell phones
wow.. the first guy who invented the Answering Machine 😳
Oohh that time 😢
It’ll never catch on!
Золотое время инженерии, не то что нынешнее племя с одноразовыми поделками
Yes these were modren telephones in those days
My brains cant hold up this
The era before the PCB was wild. 1:30 made me uncomfortable.
Ultra and ultra legend are watching to in 2021
Why they don't use the voice recorder application, 😄
Advanced technology at that time.
Insecure dengan perkembangan negeriku
This is very modern..
Good old days
sering banget nonton ini 😂😂
the days before the transistor..and a PCB would have made work so easy with a simple PCB
Literally Ads, but much much better
I still wish I had an anwsering machine. I hate getting constant phonecalls.
This is genius.
Como as coisas mudam tão rápido...⏳⏳⌛
Who noticed the number of women working I am encouraged and happy
you’re actually surprised? 😆
@@sarahlouise7163 thinking about the female to male ratio by 2020 and the way men treat women in these industries yass
It wasn't like today though thankfully they were employed. Women were employed to do routine jobs that were in line with women's work but not often given many opportunities to move up. While many men experienced the same thing, the difference is that for roles like engineer or anything "too technical" most women weren't even considered for those roles since society didn't think they could handle it

If anyone ever asks you what a circuit board does..... show them this video and the trunks of wires they're using to do the same job.
As of 2020, I have landline phone and don't want answering machine. If you're not at home, it means mobile phone is considered...
