00:01:10.608 --> 00:01:14.228
All passengers must leave
the train at this terminal.

3
00:01:14.348 --> 00:01:18.165
Oh, round trip passengers turn
to your left as you leave the train

Bell Boy is the Bell System's
answer today for doctors,

9
00:05:22.350 --> 00:05:23.706
Salesmen, delivery men,

10
00:05:23.826 --> 00:05:26.067
Or anyone who must be available at all

11
00:05:26.187 --> 00:05:28.841
Times in the fast -paced
world of century 21.

12
00:05:29.255 --> 00:05:31.445
When someone calls and you're out,

13
00:05:31.565 --> 00:05:35.007
you can be reached by dialing
your Bellboy code number.

14
00:05:41.390 --> 00:05:43.705
When you get a signal on the Bellboy,

15
00:05:43.825 --> 00:05:48.080
You can go to a phone to call
your officer home and get the message.

16
00:05:51.145 --> 00:05:52.960
This is the automatic dialer.

17
00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:57.205
Just listen for dial tone, insert
a number card, and press the start bar.

18
00:05:57.325 --> 00:06:00.465
The Bell System automatic dialer
dials for you more quickly

19
00:06:00.585 --> 00:06:03.026
and easily than you can do it yourself.

20
00:06:06.005 --> 00:06:10.135
Numbers you call frequently
can be punched on small plastic cards.

21
00:06:11.485 --> 00:06:15.575
Pick a city, then see how fast
direct distance dialing really is.

22
00:06:15.695 --> 00:06:19.534
Dial the area code,
then the weather report telephone number.

23
00:06:19.654 --> 00:06:24.625
Presto, instant weather. With DDD, most
calls go through in 20 seconds or less.

24
00:06:26.585 --> 00:06:29.464
Here you see the Bell
Solar battery in action,

25
00:06:29.734 --> 00:06:32.925
Turning light into electricity
to run this display.

26
00:06:33.045 --> 00:06:35.925
Solar batteries are used to convert
sunlight to electrical power

27
00:06:36.045 --> 00:06:39.236
And make our satellites
talk back from outer space.

28
00:06:45.205 --> 00:06:46.325
Thank you.

29
00:06:51.425 --> 00:06:54.645
Hi, this is the Bell System's
new touch tone dialing.

30
00:06:54.765 --> 00:06:58.866
With this indicator, you see how many
seconds you saved the new way.

31
00:06:58.986 --> 00:07:01.556
Let's try it. OK,
I'll race you. Ready? Go.

32
00:07:08.285 --> 00:07:09.205
I beat you.

33
00:07:14.285 --> 00:07:15.654
Welcome to our exhibit.

34
00:07:15.774 --> 00:07:18.215
I'm glad to have this opportunity to tell

35
00:07:18.335 --> 00:07:23.216
You about the telephone switching center
of tomorrow The electronic central office

36
00:07:23.336 --> 00:07:25.905
Which is made possible
by the magic of the transistor

37
00:07:26.025 --> 00:07:28.049
And other tiny but amazing devices

38
00:07:28.169 --> 00:07:31.086
Invented by the Bell
Telephone Laboratory Imagine

39
00:07:31.206 --> 00:07:33.587
If you can an electronic brain Operating

40
00:07:33.707 --> 00:07:36.365
At millions of the second
speed I say brain

41
00:07:36.485 --> 00:07:39.640
Because the new electronic
central office will almost

42
00:07:39.760 --> 00:07:41.825
think for itself It will not only

43
00:07:41.945 --> 00:07:43.790
Carry out instructions you dial

44
00:07:43.910 --> 00:07:48.165
into it, it will also remember
instructions you provided earlier.

45
00:07:48.361 --> 00:07:51.365
These memory features
will offer many convenient

46
00:07:51.485 --> 00:07:54.176
services I'm sure you'll
be delighted with.

47
00:07:54.325 --> 00:07:55.225
For one thing,

48
00:07:55.345 --> 00:07:59.625
You'll be able to reach frequently called
numbers by dialing only two digits.

49
00:07:59.745 --> 00:08:01.545
All you'll have to do is give
the telephone

50
00:08:01.665 --> 00:08:04.665
Company a list of the numbers
you dial most frequently.

51
00:08:04.785 --> 00:08:07.726
The electronic brain's
memory will do the rest.

52
00:08:07.965 --> 00:08:11.185
To see how it works,
please watch the screen.

53
00:08:16.825 --> 00:08:20.753
Is your time to phone Grandma?
Now let's see. All right.

54
00:08:20.873 --> 00:08:25.125
Now let's say you want to call
your mother who lives in Des Moines.

55
00:08:25.245 --> 00:08:26.405
You call her fairly often,

56
00:08:26.525 --> 00:08:28.925
So the telephone company has assigned 53

57
00:08:29.045 --> 00:08:31.545
As your special number
for making this call.

58
00:08:31.665 --> 00:08:36.665
when you dial the five and the three
the electronic central office's brain

59
00:08:36.785 --> 00:08:39.785
says uh -oh something special searches

60
00:08:39.905 --> 00:08:43.131
its memory for what those two
digits represent

61
00:08:43.251 --> 00:08:47.025
and as the area code plus
the phone number in Des Moines

62
00:08:47.145 --> 00:08:53.745
for you hello hello grandma ever
been invited out for an evening

63
00:08:54.485 --> 00:08:55.904
And had to turn it down

64
00:08:56.024 --> 00:08:58.525
Because you're expecting
an extra special call

65
00:08:58.645 --> 00:09:01.422
Well the electronic
central office will solve

66
00:09:01.542 --> 00:09:05.430
That problem for you too
when you do go out it will be a simple

67
00:09:05.550 --> 00:09:10.610
Matter to have your calls transferred all
you'll have to do is dial a special code

68
00:09:10.730 --> 00:09:14.365
Which tells the equipment's brain
you want your calls transferred

69
00:09:14.485 --> 00:09:17.625
And then dial the telephone
number where you can be reached

70
00:09:17.745 --> 00:09:22.725
our amazing electronic central
office will take it from there

71
00:09:31.285 --> 00:09:37.085
Hello? Diane? No, this isn't Diane.
It's Linda. Linda? What gives?

72
00:09:37.892 --> 00:09:42.085
This is Jim Morton. I was calling
Diane Brown. Oh, yes. She's here.

73
00:09:42.205 --> 00:09:44.833
She had her calls transferred to my house.

74
00:09:45.565 --> 00:09:46.505
Hi, Jim.

75
00:09:47.452 --> 00:09:50.123
And what about those times
someone has tried

76
00:09:50.243 --> 00:09:52.368
To call you when your line is busy?

77
00:09:52.488 --> 00:09:53.884
We thought of that too.

78
00:09:55.245 --> 00:09:57.085
Fine, Sarah. That's fine.

79
00:09:57.205 --> 00:10:00.045
I'll have the information
for you at the meeting next Wednesday

80
00:10:00.165 --> 00:10:03.925
When you hear the big tone
on your telephone someone

00:10:04.045 --> 00:10:06.985
Else is trying to reach
you that way you hold on just

00:10:07.105 --> 00:10:09.585

This may have Sarah on the line,
and we want to know what to do about...

96
00:11:04.665 --> 00:11:09.423
As we look to the future, we see many
extras for tomorrow's telephone users.

97
00:11:09.543 --> 00:11:14.176
One day, you may be able to call home
and automatically turn off the oven.

98
00:11:18.265 --> 00:11:22.145
Or, from a public telephone
a couple of hundred miles away,

99
00:11:22.818 --> 00:11:26.236
Turn on your home air conditioner
and have the house nice

100
00:11:26.356 --> 00:11:28.995
And cool when you return
from your hot trip.

101
00:11:29.115 --> 00:11:33.432
It may even be possible to call
and water the lawn during that dry spell

102
00:11:33.552 --> 00:11:36.011
When you're many miles away on vacation.

103
00:11:42.210 --> 00:11:44.025
Sounds fantastic, doesn't it?

104
00:11:44.145 --> 00:11:45.865
But it is all possible

105
00:11:45.985 --> 00:11:48.125
Because of the basic
research our scientists

106
00:11:48.245 --> 00:11:51.225
And engineers at the Bell
Telephone Laboratories are doing

107
00:11:51.345 --> 00:11:53.786
To make your service better day by day.

108
00:11:53.906 --> 00:11:57.525
From their work has come breakthrough
after breakthrough in science,

109
00:11:57.645 --> 00:11:59.105
Providing the intricate devices

110
00:11:59.225 --> 00:12:02.925
That lie at the heart
of your telephone service of tomorrow.

111
00:12:03.045 --> 00:12:04.625
Through the invention of better things,

112
00:12:04.745 --> 00:12:06.485
We're trying very hard to give

113
00:12:06.605 --> 00:12:09.065
You the telephone service
you want and need.

114
00:12:09.185 --> 00:12:13.485
And we think you'll agree, after seeing
the many exhibits we have here,

115
00:12:13.605 --> 00:12:17.605
there is no end to telephone
progress now or in century 21.

116
00:12:43.285 --> 00:12:50.285
Century 21, century 21,
how will life be in the 21st century?

117
00:12:57.385 --> 00:13:03.225
On a needle up high, you can look
through the eye, and you're seeing it all.

118
00:13:04.435 --> 00:13:06.882
Yes, you're seeing it all.

119
00:13:07.002 --> 00:13:13.025
As the present unfolds,
what the future beholds, you're related.

120
00:13:15.665 --> 00:13:16.565
Fascinating.

121
00:13:21.305 --> 00:13:28.305
See the art shows, what the thoroughfare,
on the boulevards leading everywhere.

122
00:13:28.425 --> 00:13:34.365
Ride a rickshaw, dine on caviar,
you can tell a foreigner's star.

123
00:13:36.005 --> 00:13:39.585
It's a wonderful age on a beautiful

124
00:13:39.705 --> 00:13:45.285
stage demonstrated
for you, been created for you.

125
00:13:46.185 --> 00:13:53.185
It's just a part of the thrilling stardom.

126
00:13:53.405 --> 00:13:57.885
century twenty -one
