Ah, the OLD old days…“What number, please?” “Get me the doctor, Ethel”. Certainly, Mr. Creepers".I can remember my grandmother having an old wooden box with a crank on the side as her kitchen (and only) telephone – no dial, of course. She had a multi-party line, as I recall, and the operators had those (now old-fashioned) cord boards – top of the line equipment then.No, I don’t believe she could watch movies or TV on her phone – she couldn’t even take pictures or video with it, if you can believe that…

Imagine talking directly to the doctor on the phone.
