Putting the cigarettes to one side for a moment, who would have thought 50 years later, video calling is so commonplace, yet in 1970, whilst possible, was the stuff of science fiction and futuristic

[@darinp5612]

it kind of goes to show the theory that technology that "they" know of is known approx 40-50 years before it reaches our hands.

[@brunotrabik8030]

The telephone central offices at that time were not even equipped with the technology to handle video calling. A majority of the central offices, (step-by-step, crossbar and panel) were all mechanical and no way had the means. They were no doubt predicting the future as the large cities such as New York or Chicago were getting equipped for Electronic switching central offices such as ESS type 1 and ESS type 2.

[@vincentlussier8264]

Yes, and remember when captain Kirk would flip open his cell phone when on another planet to speak to the Enterprise? It was a peak into the future. Did science give the idea to the show writers or the other way around? Somehow the technology we have in our hands today was conceived more than a generation ago but it was in more primitive ways. And look how we used to slam our fingers on mechanical typewriters and how easy it is today on our screens!

If this was from 1970 then even the push button phone was very rare. They nailed this. Very cool.

[@gotham61]

+Tee Jay That phone, the ten button Western Electric Model 1500 was already obsolete by 1970. In 1968 it was replaced by the WE 2500, which included the star and pound buttons.

[@teejay3272]

+gotham61 Most people still had rotary phones in 1970.

[@gotham61]

+Tee Jay That's true. I'm just saying that the phone wasn't "very rare" in 1970, and was in fact already a discontinued model.

[@teejay3272]

OK. But if it was a discontinued touch tone phone, at a time when rotary phones still dominated, wouldn't that make it even more rare? You do know your touch tone phones though. I'll give you that. :)

[@gotham61]

+Tee Jay Well, it's certainly rarer than the 2500 that followed, but they still made millions of them between 1963 and 1968.

[@brianarbenz7206]

In 1969, my school visited the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and we were dazzled to use a Picturephone on display. We were told that by 1973, three-fourths of U.S. home would have one. Turns out people didn't want the boss or that evening's date to see how we looked in the morning.

[@brunotrabik8030]

They had big ambitions and big plans but no technology to back it up. A step-by-step or crossbar central office, which are mechanical and were in most service areas at the time, would of made it impossible to handle that type of data required.

When I was a teenager back in the day, I used to work at the Bronx Zoo with this old head Brother. Probably in his 60s, pushing 70s. You could tell that he'd lived a rough life and had seen some things. Included, probably, the inside of Riker's Island at least once in his lifetime. Perpetual stone cold expression on his face, complete with scars and everything. He was the first and only person I've ever known to smoke Viceroys, so when I see how the brand used to market itself, it always makes me kind of laugh because it's the complete opposite of what I find Viceroy synonymous with.
