AT&T Archives: We Learn About the Telephone II

[@papadop]

Legendary Mel Blanc (Bugs Bunny) performing voices of the cartoon characters. Can't believe he wasn't listed in the credits.

Pretty sure one of the elephants (the one that got mad) was Stan Freeberg. Maybe both were. Reminded me of Pete Puma. The rest were blanc.. and the ladies maybe June Foray?

My phone is right in my pocket right where it belongs. I am watching this video on it right now. It wasn't always that way. I was born in 1971.

[@Janotes]

I remember the Bell System presentation in my school. They had a device which I remembered years later called the "Tele-trainer".

Kids back then were fascinated by the simplest things as shown in this film. ☎️

[@MrArinder]

This is awesome...got show this to my grands kids some history....Thank you

[@cellytron]

Aww, I wish I’d seen this as a kid. I was born in 1985 but still had occasion to use an older dial phone, and it was so hard and confusing for me. 😂

I remember the Boston Museum of Science having a telephone exhibit back in the 1980's.

2:23 - Public telephone means that it's everyone's responsibility. We shouldn't mistreat them or break them. LOL 😂

[@luisreyes1963]

Doesn't matter now that public phones went the way of the Great Auk.

[@dianesands7621]

I have a home phone and a cell phone and always will have one

[@SouthernRailfan]

Great video. Was there a GTD-5 EAX off hook tone? What tone was tone did the trimline wall phone have?

[@cleatrampler]

And today if you do not have a working cell phone you have to revert to running because there is no phone booth anywhere.

[@SouthernRailfan]

I'm talking about the brown trimline wall phone.

[@AnimeRedacted]

21:04 Man: "What happens if we don't use the telephone right?" Kid: "It will blow up." JESUS CHRIST!!!

[@wakkowarner4288]

Fast forward to today, and some phones do! (Samsung Galaxy fires..)

[@RetroWaveDave84]

My phone is in my pocket where its suppose to be!

[@RFTFunkerAC]

Philipp Reis was the inventor of the telephone 🤦🏻‍♂️ not Bell. It is a german invention

[@Bill23799]
