This makes me appreciate my time over theirs because we do not have to wait for other people to connect the call because now we simply just call someone on a phone and there are no Operators to connect the calls because it is unnecessary. ]]> 2017-11-06 14:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203900260 Mason Dalbey https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203900634  I learned that Operators mainly work together to complete a call. They also have many different plugs to use. It seems so difficult to me because I wasn't around at this time. Also, they have to write things down and connect people on a call. It wasn't as simple as it is today. Now, we call a friend and are automatically connected. Back then you had to have an operator "plug you in' to the other persons line. It makes me appreciate our time because everything is much easier and faster then back then. They had to take many different steps to complete something as easy as making a simple phone call.]]> 2017-11-06 14:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203900634 Erik Schlichenmaier https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203900821 Yes because, now we can click a button and communicate, where as back then it took physical labor.]]> 2017-11-06 14:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203900821 Nhavy Nguyen//1st Period https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203901471 I learned that the Operators have to work together in order for a call to be completed,  they have different buttons and connections that they need to use that includes a difficult process. They use their time wisely, if they see another person is not busy, they go for the opportunity to give them a task and they take care of the next person. It does make me appreciate our time over their time because now our technology allows us to call someone with either a few clicks or typing a number in and entering. The operators, who take the calls and transfer them, have to work twice as hard.(A.P).

]]> 2017-11-06 14:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203901471 Victor Wang Period 1 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203901588 I learned that Operator switchboards were very hard to use, and needed someone who knew the codes. They also required a lot of teamwork, since they need to switch tickets when someone isn't busy. They could give a call to someone else to operate, if they see that they are not busy with another call. They need to connect different cords and stamp papers to make a phone call. This all started when Alexander Bell, the inventor of the telephone, made the telephone possible. This way was still way easier than writing letters to people oversea. It really makes me appreciate my time over theirs because they had to wait a very long time to make a call, and even when they did, it was very slow and probably costed a lot more because of the extra labor involved.]]> 2017-11-06 14:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203901588 Gracie Yarborough period 1 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203903312 I learned that without teamwork the switch board operators would never be able to get their job done ,the switchboards could get confusing to manage due to the amount of knobs and cords and papers you have to deal with so it seems easier to have more than one person working to help you out.Yes this done make me appreciate our time more because back then it took several people and a lot of hard work just to make one simple phone call to a friend or family member where now a days we just press one button and our phone call is made.]]> 2017-11-06 14:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203903312 Isabela Guise (Period 1) https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203903567 I learned that Operator switchboards can be hard to use and many people were needed to help each other out on the calls. People needed to know all the codes and how to connect people to a call. The operators, people who connected calls, had to write down all the calls they got. If an operator sees that the one next to them is not busy, they will ask them to complete whatever task they needed done. This really makes me thankful that we have more evolved phones now because it looked like it would have taken a while to get a call and if you took too long on a call, they would charge you.]]> 2017-11-06 14:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203903567 Eva Hernquist https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203904718 I learned that operator switch boards, boards with lots of input slots that transmit calls, are very complex and it takes teamwork to make them efficient. If time is not used wisely while using an operator switchboard, the whole system could get backed up with calls. If one operator sees that another is not busy, they ask them to take their next call. The operators also have to constantly keep switching cords from one hole to the next to get a call where it needs to go.
This system seems very complex compared to our own. It makes me realize how slow things were and how much time they really took to complete. Now all calls are instant and do not require the complex operator switchboard system.]]> 2017-11-06 14:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203904718 Evan Downs Period 1 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905066 I learned that operator boards are very confusing and can take some practice getting used to. They also rely heavily on teamwork such as giving someone else a call or helping someone fill out the charge. The operators, who manage the call, switch the cords and link people to what they want. (Appositive) Dialing today we just dial a number and we go there without being linked. There are still some operators for business to link you to a certain department. I appreciate how far we've come with phone technology and can't wait to see what will come in the future.]]> 2017-11-06 14:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905066 Andy Chan https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905321 I learned that operator switch boards require lots of teamwork to have quick calls.  The operator can't deal with everything at once and has to ask other operators to help to make calls quick. If they were having trouble transmitting a call, they would substitute one of their plugs for someone else's to try and make it work. Dialing today is much easier because we only have to dial a number and it will patch through by itself. ]]> 2017-11-06 14:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905321 Ariela Freire Period 1 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905458 I learned that operators need to work as a team to get the job done just in time to make their service speedy for their customers. It looked hard to see operators have a bunch of customers at the same time with switchboards and to put in codes for connection. The looked pretty busy but calm at the same time. I am kind of happy that I am in this time period instead of this other time period because it is so much easier to get in contact with people. Yes, it makes appreciate this time over the other time because in the past we keep learning and get more knowledge on technology over time to make it easier for people to use technology.  ]]> 2017-11-06 14:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905458 Gwen Shaw https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905510 I learned that it took a lot of work to make a phone call and the operators had to work together to accomplish a call. The operators, Kelly, Rita, and Dot, work together to try to get to all of the calls. They pull some cords out and plug others in to connect and disconnect calls. If they worked alone they might not be able to do it all. Today we dial the number ourselves, and we don't have to talk to an operator. We can hang up whenever we want and can almost always talk to the person we want to. This makes me appreciate the way it is today.]]> 2017-11-06 14:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203905510 Owen Welch https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203906523 In the video I learned that operator switchboards were very complex to use. The operators, the people who operate the switchboards, had to use teamwork to help each other advance the call.  The dialing we have today makes me appreciate our time over theirs because in their time you had to talk to the operator to get you to who you want to call. In our time you only need to punch in some numbers and wait.]]> 2017-11-06 14:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203906523 Sophia Canabal https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203908825 In this video, I learned that providing telephone users with fast service requires teamwork.  I also learned that the characteristics of the all is shown to the operator, who uses it to record the call using the operator's switchboard.   Operators monitor coin telephones and advance calls. From what I have watched, an operator can only operate one call at a time.]]> 2017-11-06 14:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203908825 Ryder Wilson Period 1 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203910094 In the video I learned that operator boards were very hard to use and required teamwork to get calls done quickly. I think what makes them so hard is that they have to write things on papers to give to their partner and they have to constantly switch cords around to partners. The only thing that I think would be easy to do is to have calls to you and the person next to you doesn't have a call so if you get another you can give it to them. It does make me appreciate what time we have today. To call someone all we have to is tap a bottom but back then they had to connect a call to someone to get on the phone.]]> 2017-11-06 14:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203910094 Braden Bast Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203936045 The video taught me that there are many different roles to being an operator. You have to do a lot of cooperative work and do a lot of call switching. The women had these little cards with information on them so they could just pass it to someone else and say, here can you take this call. Then they would just unplug one cord and switch it with another. The dialing system they had back then was really different than ours. We just punch in numbers and are done they have to roll the dials around or unplug different cords. It makes me appreciate how much this world has changed in the past 100 years or so.]]> 2017-11-06 15:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203936045 Noah Berman~Period 1 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203936760 I learned that the switchboards had to have a lot of teamwork to be able to operate it. I also learned that the switchboards, which took many possible outcomes of teamwork, had many different positions. This dialing is the same because it has buttons to press, but it is different because it has cords you have to plug in. It makes me appreciate their time.]]> 2017-11-06 15:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203936760 Savanna Rowell - Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203937091 In this video I learned that the switchboards required a lot of teamwork due to their complexity.  They would have to work together to make sure that the call happened as quickly and efficiently as possible .  The operators of the switchboards had to ask for help from the people around them in order to make the call happen faster.  Yes, it does make me appreciate our time and how much quicker we can use our phones to call, or text, someone to tell them something that they should know. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203937091 Nina Honda ~ Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203937665 In this video, I learned that it used to take lots of teamwork to provide users of the telephone with quick service. Many people used to have to work together at a time so that people could call each other. Now, we do not have to have as many operators working the telephone lines because there are many other, more convenient ways to run telephone services. I appreciate how far the technology has come.]]> 2017-11-06 15:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203937665 Mia Campese https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203938130 In this video, I learned about the different roles as a telephone operator and the teamwork skills that were required. Today, all we have to do is either type in the phone number, or program your phone to click a persons name and call them in a click of a button. This does make me appreciate our time over their time, because it is much easier now than how it used to be.]]> 2017-11-06 15:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203938130 Rylan https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939113 In the video, I learned that much teamwork was required to operate. I also learned specific situations that they had to operate like how they had to record how long a call was and how much it would charge. I also learned that operators can help others by continuing calls or transferring calls for the other operators. Dialing today is much easier for us and operators because we don't need them. I do  appreciate our time over theirs because we can directly call somebody, the operators don't have to have such a confusing job. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939113 Skyler Glenn - period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939261 In this video, I learned that there needs to be multiple operators, like the ones in the video, for calls to be successful. A single operator couldn't do it alone. I do appreciate our new phone services because the phone calls shown still didn't look very quick and easy. These days, it is.]]> 2017-11-06 15:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939261 Grant https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939585 I learned that teamwork of the telephone operators makes for quick service. If one team member needed help, someone would take the call, or use their own plugs in their board. Also, they had little slips of paper. It seemed as if they came out of little holes in the board. If it was a pay-per-call, they would stamp they card, on a stamp on the right had side, and put it in a folder and log it. The dialing back then seemed to be more complicated, like with the whirly phones with the spinner, to what we have today where we could either just type in the number, or touch a phone button on a contact, which will call them. I appreciate our time over their time because it is simpler than older times, and it is more easy.]]> 2017-11-06 15:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939585 Angelique Boles-2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939892 I learned that the operator switchboards are to complex for someone to do it themselves. Since they are sometimes swamped with calls, while their partners are free, they often ask for assistance in writing down information, connecting calls, and trying to collect payment for their services.
These boards are much less efficient than the communications we have acquired today. Our calls are now automatically transferred without needing to inconvenience another person in the process. We no longer have to right down phone numbers and switch cords to connect calls. We can connect instantaneously to the person we wish to contact and that is the end of it. This truly makes me thankful that we don't have to deal with this any longer and that in our day and age it is more convenient for everyone when a phone call is made.]]> 2017-11-06 15:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203939892 Avery Descheneaux- Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940013 From this video, I learned that using operator boards need to include teamwork and the people functioning the calls have to work efficiently for everything to run smoothly. There is a lot of time put in to operating the boards and it looks like complex, compared to what we have today. There was a lot of cables and cords, which I would get confused with. The operators, the ladies that had to run the "inside job," had to switch calls and balance their work with one another for this system to be successful. Now that I saw what people had to do to get a phone call across back then, I am very thankful that people have found an easier, quicker, and less complicated way to transmit conversations. I can just dial a number and I would be able to get to whoever I wished to talk to. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940013 MacKenzie English- Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940160 In this video, I learned that for a single call, it takes a lot of teamwork for the certain call to be successful. All the time that has gone by, I am very thankful that calls are much easier to make from how they were back then.]]> 2017-11-06 15:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940160 McKenzie Thacker - Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940781 Phone operators had to work together to efficiently make sure everyone who was trying to talk on the phone was able to talk to the person they wanted to communicate with. Each telephone operator had a few wires, and had slips of paper they had to use to keep track of the amount of time someone talked on the phone and how much they had to pay for the phone call. Each telephone operator, who had many things to do at once, often had to ask another person for help. This is much more complicated then the way telephone services work today. Now, we just have to type in a phone number, and the call goes directly to that person; people do not need to operate phone calls now. I am glad that is how our phone service is now, because it's much faster.]]> 2017-11-06 15:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940781 Logan Graham~Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940827 In this video, I learned that during the time operators where used a lot of team work and focus was required. The operator had to focus on the length of the call and how much to charge for it. The operators had a bunch of wires that would go into different slits to connect calls. Once they connected the call if it was a pay p er call then they would take a card and stamp it and charge the user for the call. Today it is so much easier because all we have to do is type in a number and it directly sends it to the receiver. Before people had all these wires and complications which is confusing. Then they had to stamp cards and connect calls and there are a bunch of plugs and stuff which I have no idea how they don't mess up when connecting calls.]]> 2017-11-06 15:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203940827 Brock Morris-Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203941174 In the video I learned that being an operator can be very confusing and stressful and needs a lot of teamwork to get the job done. If the operators did not use teamwork to complete their jobs calling someone may take forever. The operators had to log the amount of money a long distance call would take and charge them. This was a lot different from what we do today because today we have call phones without operators. We also don't have to pay for long distance calls in the U.S. Another thing that is different is that all we have to do is press a couple buttons to call someone but back then it was a long process because you had to dial the person that you wanted to call then you would be sent to an operator and then you would finally be able to talk to the person you wanted to talk to. Calling people today is a lot easier than it was a long time ago. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203941174 Blake Andres-Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203941638 In the video, I learned that the operators have to help each other out and work efficiently to do their jobs correctly. Sometimes, one worker will have to give another worker her call and they need to have teamwork to do this. If the operators don't do these things, then their jobs will be very hard and almost impossible. 
Today it is way easier to make calls and it is not as complicated as their time. It does make me appreciate my time because today somethings are way easier to do and also more simple to do.]]> 2017-11-06 15:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203941638 Victoria Halligan Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203942769 In this video, I learned that being an operator requires teamwork and focus. Operators are always working, whether it is for their own customers or for their coworkers. This does make me appreciate our time over their time because in order to send a message now, it is a thousand times simpler than the time of operators and telegraphs. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203942769 Sophie LoGalbo Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203943081 I learned from that video that switchboards are very complex, and that it takes a lot of teamwork to put a call through. This makes me appreciate what we have today because otherwise it would take a long time to make a call. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203943081 Kaden Rose-Period 2 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203943132 During this video, I learned that operators have to work together and help each other to work faster.  Since operator can be super busy and filled with so many calls, it is important that they are able to communicate with each other and ask for help. In this video, the operators were swapping the cords with each other to handle all of the calls at once.]]> 2017-11-06 15:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203943132 Ian Hooper https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203945345 The thing i learned from the operator switch board is that many people had to work together so they could give the customer the timely service. 
This dialing is not like the dialing we have today because today we have direct connection we cut out the middle man, and i do appreciate the time we are in but the closest thing that we have to that is a program called chaos monkey for netfilx.]]> 2017-11-06 15:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/203945345 Aaliyah Brett - period 4 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/204030244 I learned that being an operator is not easy. It takes skill and team work. the mobile phones that we have today are more officiant. For example, back in the day we needed an operator to transfer calls, which on their end means they have to talk to you then transfer you. Today we have a phone that can go anywhere at any time. Also our phones have apps, used for games, taking pictures, etc. This very much makes me appreciate what we have today.]]> 2017-11-06 18:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/204030244 Nicole Whittemore period 4 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/204031739 In the video I learned that to work as a operator is more difficult than one would think. You have to work together as a team to get things done. As a example operators would transmit our calls for us. So they would help each other out so they could get work done efficiently just like we do today. ]]> 2017-11-06 18:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/204031739 Angela Montemurro - Period 4 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/204033723 In the video i learned that working as a operator isn't easy.

If you do not work together then it makes the job even harder for the operator to complete.

The operator will then receive the other number and connect them. The dialing is very different from how it is today because then you to call someone like how you would open up a locker. You'd go to the number hit it and then go back to zero. They'd do that over and over because they didn't have a keypad.

When one operator has her call cord in the machine and asks for the other operator to handle a call for them, they switch cords. It must be very overwhelming to connect so many calls and have to worry about make sure they stay connected and what to do when they get disconnected. The operators, who must be very busy , have to deal with all those things. The dialing they have is a little different. They have little round buttons on their dashboard that they push to dial the call. We have a screen that we push to dial. Some house phones do have buttons that stick out, but most cellphones just have a screen that you touch. It does make me appreciate our time over theirs. Ours is much easier.

What they would do is if they were getting a call when they were already talking to someone and the person next to them is not on the phone with anyone is they would switch cords and the person not doing anything would now be talking to the person on the phone.

She gives a call to a team mate, and the call is advanced. However the team mate cannot reach a notable appearance on the switching trunk, so she lets go of the first chord and puts in her own. This is how some calls are advanced.
 2. Compared to now, phone calls were complicated and time consuming. Now, people can make phone calls though a press of on button, or even by speaking to there phone and telling the phone who to call. Calls only take about thirty seconds to get going, but back in the day it probably toke up to thirty minutes. This makes me appreciate our time over their time, because back than the life was generally hard and time consuming on simple things that we can do now in a matter of seconds.]]> 2017-11-07 11:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/204290998 Isabella Steward Period 6 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/205517322 I learned that operators could connect and disconnect by using the switchboard, for different calls. Also, that the operators can listen to the call that is being made. Also, how the phones have advanced, improved, or changed over time. ]]> 2017-11-09 21:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/8l99q553dbzw/wish/205517322
