What Makes a Telephone Work?What Makes a Telephone Work

1970

That phone on the cover is the latest and greatest technology, according to the book. THERE ARE NO DIALS! Gasp! Touch Tone is the wave of the future! I am old enough to remember rotary phones, party lines, and only one area code for South Eastern Michigan. Also, in my former life I was a company phone operator and used an old fashioned cord board. I also think this looks old for 1970.  Again, I am sounding like a broken record here, but seriously, why on earth is this still in a youth nonfiction collection?  Please weed!

Fast forward from 1970 to 1993 and remember this title (Cool and Cordless)?  Already we should be thinking when books about smart phones should be weed-worthy.
