Amazing technology and quite an evolution to the phone capabilities we
now have. Including the internet.

So true.

Except actually, they had the internet in 1915, but Bell Telephone
bought it and destroyed it, in order to sell telephones.

Naah, it was from India, wanted to tell the
west coast home owner that her abacus was
sending beaded messages, and needed to be
reset for a small onetime fee from her credit
card.

It's difficult. First, you need a stop watch. The hardest problem is to get
them to fly a measured lap without deviating. They just don't seem to care
about your difficulty. Maybe it's just the local flies and they are more
co-operative elsewhere.

I saw an article where it gave the cost of a call across the
country back then. It was $400 in today's dollars for 3 mins.
