In the beginning when telephones where not so many . You had to crank the side to get a operator . As time went on the telephone changed in style more people had them . You still had to get the operator for a number . Then the rotor or dial came to be . You could dial direct and had to use a prefix before the number . Example- Prescott 5-4910 or PR-5-4910 . There where no aria codes . You still had to get the operator to make a long distant call . Then there was the proverbial party line . Some time up to 3 to 5 people share the same line . Then it went down to just two people on the same line . Phones only came in one color at that time . Black ! You only had one telephone in the house . That was most of the time in the kitchen . Again as time went on people started to get privet lines . Telephones came in colors and styles . Does anyone remember the princess phone ? I would say that the phone has changed the world with communication universally . Society can't live with out there phone . Lives have been saved . Businesses have been started and ended . Banking , schooling , buying selling . Most everything is by the Telephone . One thing hasn't changed people will never stop talking . Good bad or indifferent . The phone is here to stay .
