When I was studying vibrations in college we talked about the “firestone” analogies. For example the spring, shock, and mass of a cars suspension system could be simulated by a resistor, capacitor, and inductor in an electrical circuit. Hearing all the analogies he made really tickled my brain. Judging by his smile, he must have gotten quite the satisfaction from discovering all these similarities in nature. Wish I could have had a professor like this. My teacher made me dislike vibrational studies and it wasn’t until I discovered videos like these that I rediscovered the beauty of it.

7:14 is eerily accurate...now kids are curious to Google everything and anything with voice search

This is At&ts take on Scifi like Star Trek but in our own world

AT&T showcasing their modern, state of the art technology in 2024. Boasting dial up speeds since 800 B.C.

From around the 21:00 mark, interstage SWR and it's importance is well demonstrated. Also, for anyone thinking that the diagrams around the 05:00 mark and onward are incorrect, they are not. The discussion is about current not voltage and is explained as the film progresses. This demonstrates the importance of paying close attention before drawing a conclusion.

At&t did not invent the transistor, I hate it when people say that. Corporations do not invent things lol men and women do, so 3 men that worked at bell labs (research department of at&t) did though 🙂

..я люблю это...

Imagine if world looked like this: no wars, peace, everyone sharing their knowledge and making the life better for next generations

We’d call the operator and ask how to spell stuff 😅

I had a grandmother who was a telephone operator before she took a job with the Dallas Times-Herald. And I have a brother who works for AT&T working on the mainlines, but mostly relating to TV and internet. Back in Texas after the bell system broke up, Southwestern Bell was all we had. And we had AT&T ads all through the '90s, ads for MCI, and let's not forget 1-800-COLLECT.

Clearly made before the woke mind virus or DEI.

As I can remember this was in the A. K. Dewdney article from the end 80's / beginning of 90's Scientific American magazine?! Crabs eats windows in Bell Labs?! Or something similar...?!?

00:18 In the age of Mutually assured destruction I'm pretty sure the best offense was _offense_ , not defense. Hence the whole Mutually assured destruction name? Both of our offensive capabilities are so great that it's guaranteed both will go down in a shooting war. If one side had an "impenetrable defense" then MAD as a concept wouldn't apply...

This was excellent training. I’m sure no one was placed on a switchboard until they were fully trained. They were all dressed neatly and modestly. Their was neatly trimmed and they wore a little makeup.

KZfaq algorithm blessed me

4:50 they look like they are playing Extreme’s “More Than Words” on the keyboard

Beautiful...Love the old days.

"In New York City, only a dozen or so mobile customers can be on the phone at the same time." 🤯

Ugh! Those phones are attached to WALLS!! 😫

So awesome 👍

Call waiting is an incredible service offered by the telephone company

Straight out of Orwell's 1984. War equals peace.

Before the transistor came, the J.C.Bose's PbS semiconductor diode detector, patented in 1904.

Can’t get over the “letter O” and “numeral O” distinction. Why can’t it just be “zero”? 😅

What a great documentry!!

Nice video

This video is so cool to watch. Wouldn't it be nice to experience it?.........Don't worry MYTOWN. In the late 60's rail passenger service will be discontinued. The early 70's most of the small agricultural business like wool, daries and such will go away because of synthetic fabrics and Government regulations'. The mid to late 70's most of your factories would be closed and sent to Japan. Half of the people would leave for jobs in the larger cities. The graduating kids will not stick around. By the 2000's the rest of the factories will be sent to China. Most of the small businesses will close because the owners are all retiring and no one wants to buy their businesses. All that is left in town is a Casey's, and a grain elevator. But don't worry the future will be bright. Sooooo sad. I think I need a hug.

As a guy who learned glass blowing from making bongs these guys amaze me.

Worked there for fourty years,great company and people.

The pathways of people getting married, starting businesses, getting a job...this is how it started...but also where things ended as well. To know you were responsible for a transmission that could make or break someone...is unreal. An era that is long gone....SUCH beautiful women back in the day...my Lord..

I'm currently watching this on a solar powered computer

I don't believe this generation is interested in the tools of the elders

COMPUTERS ARE BETTER.. Now ATT AI SUPER ROBOT Z???

Love their Casio watches.

Henry Moray invented the transistor

Every 5-10 years those archive tech videos hit different.

19:23 crazy to think that programmers back then thought C was a high level language

Lovely

After watching this i realized every professor i had should have been fired He taught a university course in 20 minutes.

I was stationed in Alaska when the tornadoes hit Xenia, Ohio. Our AP mews wire printed a story that 'A steel town in SW Ohio was destroyed'. There were two towns yb that area, In Hamilton and Middletown. I tried daily for almost a week to get a call to relatives in Middletown, only to hear a recording, telling mi that there were no available circuits. The AP did no followup story, so I had to worry about around a 100 family and friends back home. So much for their fabulous automatic route selection. Our military TV station had no acess to the military's secure phone lines, even though noth were carried on the military 'White Alice' microwave system. If it did, I could have contacted Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton to try to reachh home.

I was one of them for 40 years.Great company,good memories.

So what came first camera with video or the phone ?

Very cool to have this footage on KZfaq, because it is a rare documentation of how people themselves, not the media(like the newspapers) reacted to the now infamous radio broadcast of Orson Welles. Thanks for uploading this from the archives. Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.

Aight people, do you realize how much precious this video is? Goddammit, this is gold! Pure gold! I hope that after this magical vid I will make another closer step to grasp the programming in its true form and not this coding stuff.

I think our introductory announcer is a "Friend of Dorothy." Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I wonder what music they like? Me:

14:25 "Houses run $20-$25,000 dollars ... Must have been a pretty swanky housing development! My folks bought their 3-bedroom 2-bath house in a suburb of Los Angeles for $16,000 in the mid '50s.
