What old communication features do you miss? ☎️
AM radio that had music instead of just talk shows and news.
Pneumatic tubes are still available at many drive in banks.
Warm human touches are something that I miss instead of having to talk to a computer.💻
I miss Morse code.
I certainly do remember rotary-dial telephones, vinyl records and tape recorders.
I grew up with shortwave radio; it was fun to "surf" the dial to see what I could find. I even learned a little bit of Morse code so I could decipher the call signs of navigation beacons. Good times...long gone.
I can remember going to a department store and when paying the clerk would take the bills and insert them into a canister then put it into the vacuum tube sending it to a central office where a cashier would send back your change. Growing up in the grocery business, I always thought that a central cashier was so inefficient. I guess the owners of the department stores didn’t trust their employees to handle making change at a point of sale register.
Stores in the city (NY) had these. As a child, I thought it was really amazing. Now, my bank’s drive-thru still uses them!
One of my aunts was a switchboard operator. As late as 1988, I was on a five person party line. It was cheaper than a private line. I still have a rotary phone that works on a landline. Of course, it only makes and receives calls. With WiFi, it just makes a weird noise.
When I was a little boy my mom would go to a bank and a pharmacy that had them suchen tubes. They were fascinating to a little boy.
Banks still use those pneumatic tubes.
If someone sent a bad joke by Morse Code was that a Pun-Dit
😀
Rotary dial phones, some office business ink pens had a ball end for dialing.
Hospitals still use pneumatic tubes to send supplies and lab samples.
Morris code and short wave radios are alive and well. Check out the ARRL, ARES and ham radio.
Even though the requirements for Morse code have been dropped, many hams still use Morse code in communications and contesting.
I still remember the late 40s in Chicago before the dial phone. You picked up the receiver and the operator said "number please". After you told her who you were calling she would say "your number please". I always wondered what would happen if you gave someone else's number. Would they be charged for the call?
We saw in the movie Sound of Music they communicated by telegram in the early 1900s
In my childhood home, we had a pink rotary party line phone that sat on top of telephone books on the phone peninsula.., with notepad and recycled tin soup can pencil holder located to the right.
The quintessential '70s communication center
I grew up when Morse code was all we had to communicate.+
Back in the early 1900s, ships like Titanic communicated via morse code
Titanic was one of the first ships to actually send SOS.
Now that we have cell phones, where does Superman change?
In the movie Superman, he used cars, revolving doors, and alleys. :D
Those pneumatic tubes eerily remind me of "1984". No thanks! Those things should only be used for drive-thru banking. Lol.
Ah, the party lines. Lol. They were horrible. Way worse than the rotary phones we were using at the same time. 🤣
"News reels" were the start of the mass propaganda...
Yep, I'm old enough to remember phone booths, too. Lol. You can't find them around anymore, except in museums.
I swear I'm not *that* old. Lol. It feels like I've been living in a time-warp era. 🤔
Pneumatic tubes are still a thing. Hospitals use them.
Rotary phones were usable until the late '90s, when pulses were no longer recognized by the phone company computer. You could use an ild rotary phone after that, but only to answer...you couldn't dial out.
Shortwave is still a thing..the receivers aren't as common, but you can still get them.
Some ships still use radioteletype.
A lot of " old school" stuff is still around, it's just used as backup.
Those booths making little 45 rpm voice records were still around in the early '80s....for the price, you also got a stiff cardboard mailer for it.
Would the store business have to shut down when a canister got caught in a tube?
What about the wire recorder.? They were used from the 1930’s through the 1950’s.
Banks still use pneumatic tubes.
Where?
Any spot can become a private chat room?? At best it’s semiprivate because people around you hear half a conversation at worse it’s completely public where people have the thing on speaker phone where you hear both sides of the conversation.
Wait, how did Morse code work on a ship? I did a double-take on that one
Morse Code was still used in the Navy as communication between ships and shore stations up until the late 90s. France was the last to use it.
@@RetiredSailor60 I mean back in the pre-satellite days
@bradforddillman7671
Wireless as it were called then. Radio, as we call it now.
He said penis!😂lol that was cool!😁
Pneumatic tubes are still very much in use in banks. Walmart uses them to send controlled substance drugs from a vault to the pharmacy. I know, my company works on them.
And why show normal typewriters in a discussion of teletypewriters? Particularly the beat up manual one at the end?
Did Al Gore invent these like he did the internet???
Albert Gore jr, what a joke!
Rotary phones were meditative? There was nothing else except telegraph or snail mail! Stupid.
