Julie Howlin<p>Today is Telephone Day, because it was on March 10, 1876 that Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call, to his assistant in another room.

The last place I lived 4 years ago they still delivered them every year. In my new place they don't deliver to my neighborhood. For everyone else you need to order them, and they are only available for certain areas.<br><br>I surmise that the print phone books will never be completely extinct. They are critical infrastructure if the data grid goes down in some disaster. There are still millions of active copper phone lines across the country, and the way they were buried, it should be another two generations before all that copper corrodes. I have lines that are 50 years old and still in good condition. It is just sitting there, waiting in case it is ever needed.<br><br><a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=yellowpages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YellowPages</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=whitepages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhitePages</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=phonebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhoneBooks</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=telephones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Telephones</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=phones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phones</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroTech</a><br>
