This is a sweet old photo, of a girl using a very old looking telephone. I don't think I've ever seen a phone like that one before! I've included two versions for you to play with, the original and one in blue.
And speaking of telephones.... I've been selected as a Blogher compensated LG Text-Ed Ambassador, much to the shock of my family, and especially my teen step daughter, the queen of texting, who responded with, "Are you serious?! You can't even text!". Truthfully, I can text a tiny bit, I'm just a little slow. At any rate, lucky for the people at LG, I don't need to know how to text, Blogher has people for that... smart experienced texting type people, who will be doing the actual teaching, and I get the fancy title! So anyway here's, the scoop. This is a great program for parents of kids that text message. The program helps to educate parents about texting and about various ways to combat negative behaviors, like bullying, gossip and sharing inappropriate content. Each week for the next 6 weeks, a different topic will be covered. This week's topic is "Mobile Meanness". There will be five posts written each week about the topic of the week. And here's the great news, for each comment left on each post, a $.50 donation will be made to the wonderfully good people at DoSomething.org. (which is a great site about getting teens involved with volunteering)!!! You can see read all of the posts HERE and leave any questions that you might have, or your own expert advice for those of you that have dealt with this issue.

ReplyDeleteI think it is a voice recording machine rather than a telephone.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is awesome Karen!!! Funny thing is, I don't like to text either as I'm too slow...(I need a regular size keyboard and I would rock...lol)
ReplyDeleteSending hugs your way!

I love this image. I also think its great you are advertising for that program. I really think it is important for parents to be educated on the power their kids have. I am not a parent, but I am an older sister & that has been a concern. Younger children often do not think about the consequences of their actions & there are even unexpected ones. Someone could pass a text a long that isn't meant..I know I am rambling, but this is a serious issue!
ReplyDeletePS. All of your graphics make me want to paste them all over everything I own!
Jeff, Oh, interesting! I didn't know they had those back then!
ReplyDeleteCindy, Yes, I agree with you there. We need phones with giant keyboards! haha
Moe, You are right it is a serious issue, we had an incident at our house recently, so I know exactly what you mean!
Love this telephone girl, Karen! Thanks for sharing & for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the texting info, too--important to know!

I should have known I would not have been the first person to notice that it is a recording device. Look at the large disk under table! Good for you Jeff!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Karen, we would be shocked to know all the things that they had 'way back when' that no one knows about.
Gorgeous image, thank you
ReplyDeleteGood eye Peggy! I didn't see the disk (and I looked! Lol.). I was expecting a cylinder.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of not knowing what they had "back then," I always enjoy looking through the old original and reproduction catalogs. If you take your time you can find many items you didn't know they had, lol. My favorites are the Sears 1897 and Bloomingdale's 1885.
Peggy & Jeff, you guys are good! I like old scientific journals too, lots of interesting things in those!
