Being A Telephone Operator in 1979
To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. Back in 1979 when I filmed this, AT&T was very proud of their “center” in New York City. The newest technology they said. Some of the women looked like they liked it or tolerated it, and most of the men wouldn't talk to us. Can you imagine when a human voice knew your name on the phone! These are outtakes from my PBS documentary titled The Information Society.
