An Overview About the Telephone ~ Plus: Sharing Phone Evolution Resources

Push-button or rotary.. Ah, those were the days. No compulsive checking for messages, except, perhaps, an answering-machine. Our vintage phones, usually had a station. We knew exactly where to locate it, if need-be. It was either mounted on the wall, or, set on a desk or counter. Or, on our night-stand. Or, when we were outside, we could find one at a shopping location, or inside a lobby. They were the pay-phones, of course. Those were the days.. were they not? 

We had to deal with unraveling our phone cords, if we were very active on our phones, occasionally. And now.. we are cordless.. with little awesomely evolved mobile devices.. Our hand-held might be free, but, we are quite attached; are we not? 

Nowadays, habitual phone checking is typical. ~
