The Telephone on this Day in History

This day in history: The first push-button telephone went into service on this day in 1963. Phones have certainly changed over the decades. There are 100,000 pay phones left in America, but you would be hard-pressed to find one. They were certainly useful in The Matrix, Get Smart and Superman, and let's not forget the Colin Farrell 2002 thriller "Phone Booth." Another great movie was "Cellular" with Kim Basinger and Jason Statham which is now dated because it was released shortly before the advent of the SmartPhone. There are also still people using rotary dial phones, though they stopped making them long ago. There is a Telephone Museum in Waltham, Massachusetts. Perhaps they have the red bat-phone.
