what will the telephone be like when i grow up?

Boy

It’s hard to say young fellow, but you can be sure there are great things ahead.

Today we telephone from moving automobiles, trains, air-planes and ships far out at sea. And radio microwaves beam telephone calls and television programs from tower to tower across the country.

The Day is coming when you will be able to reach any telephone in the country simply by dialing a number.

perhaps some day in the future you may just speak the number into the transmitter and get your party automatically.
