Evolution of the Telephone 1856 - 2020 (Landline)

[@luxxeon3d]

From 1930s to around 1970s, the regular black home dial phone did not change much. Incredible how long that design lasted. Imagine a design lasting 40 years today.

[@dougfowler1368]

I know, I was stunned because when I saw that black dial phone from the 30s I thought that's what my grandparents had in their house when I was growing up 40 years later. I guess they always liked the style. Of course, they hadn't had phones in their homes till they married and then after the war got one with a party line.

[@brotnjanin]

PC Case. Most still use the tower design. Of course the look was "invented" in the late 1980s.

[@luxxeon3d]

@@brotnjanin that's another good analogy. The PC tower design hasn't changed much fundamentally in around 30 years. The first pc cases from the 70s and early 80s were more like monitor stands.

[@DP-hy4vh]

The design lasted for 40 years because Bell Telephone was a monopoly. It wasn't until Bell was broken up by Congress in the 1980s that phones became more diverse in design.

[@Rokimalceno]

Most smart phones look the same for 15 years. Not much innovation.

[@Drobium77]

I'm only 41, but we were using 1940's phones right up until the early 90s in our house. Endless hours trying to phone the doctor on a rotary phone...wow!, it really was old fashioned looking back now

[@donuthole7236]

As a design engineer I've worked in the telco industry designing NEBS compliant Central Office (CO) equipment. In 2020 I was at my parent house and was sleeping in a spare room where they had an old rotary phone from the 60's on a table. Out of curiosity I plugged the RJ45 jack into the wall and dialed (literally LOL) and called my cellphone. To my amazement IT WORKED! That is an old analog dialing system which sends off a set number of clicks with each turn of the dial which gets decoded at the CO and routed to the proper destination. Everything now is digital, but the phone companies are very big on compatibility and reliability and are loath to make drastic changes in the system. The old clicking analog router equipment would have been replaced decades ago but it appears someone decided to design the system to recognize the old routing signal from a rotary phone. I thought that was so cool using that to call a cellphone. I don't know how much longer that will work, perhaps it was limited to the carrier they were using. It brought back a lot of memories and its lot likely I will ever have that opportunity again.

I was so amazed by the fact that you could get the phone in the living room and take it to the bedroom to talk. When I was about 8, my parents decided to get me one for my room. It was pink and white and even came with letter stickers so I could put my name on it. I thought I was the coolest kid in school.

[@LuluDumpling]

Sometimes it depends on where you live. In our old house you need a landline to get internet (ADSL) because nothing else works (e.g. no wifi signal because hilly area) or is available. Also, in case of earthquake, floods, etc or any power outage you lose your home electricity (lights, fridge, ...) but your landline still works because it's separate! Just make sure it's not the type that needs to be plugged in to work of course. Cellphones aren't always reliable. Where I live if there's a storm or a blackout it affects the signal and you get no service. Plus in times of disaster or a general emergency there's just too much pressure on the system and cellphone networks can't handle it. This is other than the fact that they need charging. So yeah a good landline can come in handy! But better if it doesn't need electricity or charging x
