Fifty years ago.....................................

In 1963 the Bell System introduced the first "push-button" telephone.  The old style "rotary" dial phone would hang around for a long time, but touch tone was the "latest and greatest."

Out with the old

In with the new.  Notice that the 1963 "Push-button" model only
had 10 buttons.  The twelve button model was introduced in 1968

    When's the last time you tried calling a number with a rotary phone? It's agonizingly slow. Brrrrrp, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Brrrrrp, tick, tick, tick, tick,tick, tick, tick, tick. (Oh good, a one.) Brrrrrp, tick. (Oh no, not another eight) Brrrrrp, tick, tick, tick, tick,tick,tick,tick,tick. . . .
