Passeggiando a Milano in Corso di Porta Ticinese, non ho saputo resistere a questa vista...presto saranno rimosse come le altre, e allora! Ecco qualche cenno storico, sul telefono a pagamento e la comparsa dei mitici "gettoni" Nel 1889 William Gray sentendosi male, per chiamare un dottore (all'epoca i telefoni erano molto rari), andò presso una vicina fabbrica e cercare di telefonare. Dopo varie suppliche, riuscì ad ottenere l'uso del telefono e chiamò il medico. L'episodio però fece nascere nella sua testa, l'idea di un telefono a pagamento. Il primo fu in servizio presso una banca di Hartford in Connecticut, vennero poi installate cabine di servizio con “payphones”negli alberghi. Fu solo nel 1905 che la compagnia telefonica Bell decise di mettere cabine telefoniche nelle strade di Cincinnati, come quelle che vedevamo fino a poco tempo fa anche noi, ma la novità non venne subito recepita dalla popolazione, ancora restia a discutere affari privati in pubblico. Cosicché volente o nolente la storia del telefono a gettoni e delle cabine ci racconta anche la storia della lenta ma inesorabile perdita della privacy, della riservatezza della società moderna. In seguito la cabina telefonica s'è trasformata, s'è ristretta, s'è nascosta all'interno del telefono stesso, è diventata portatile, fino a scomparire agli inizi degli anni 2000. Le nuove generazioni non avranno mai quella sensazione che provavano i loro genitori quando dietro di loro si chiudevano le porte della cabina telefonica e in quel ambiente ovattato si vedeva fuori dai vetri (e poi dal plexiglass) il mondo che correva apparentemente silenzioso, c'era pure la possibilità di consultare l'elenco telefonico messo in apposite mensole e le Pagine Gialle. Si inseriva il gettone che valeva un certo numero di scatti telefonici e poi non si digitava il numero,non si scorrevano le dita sulla tastiera, il numero lo si componeva sulla tastiera tonda che girava facendo quell'indimenticabile rumore di mitraglietta e poi dopo il tu-tu, si sentiva la voce rispondere dall'altro capo del filo. Oggi sono i cellulari le nostre cabine telefoniche portatili, che usiamo ovunque, senza un minimo di educazione o privacy con gli auricolari pensando di essere ancora “intimi” come nell'”alcova” delle vecchie cabine e invece tutti ascoltano e tutti sanno. Il drinn-drinn del telefono è perso nell'armadio delle cose in disuso, oggi c'è la suoneria, oggi c'è la vibrazione. Si è vero, la tecnologia è utile, ci ha cambiato la vita nel bene o nel male, William Gray e poi Steve Jobbs c'hanno spinti nel futuro … ma quanta nostalgia! Critiche, commenti e consigli sempre super graditi. Grazie.

A reminiscent photo of other times and other habits. I remember that when going on holiday it was necessary to make chips because the long-hauls cost a lot.

Nostalgic click, document of the tumultuous evolution of communications ....
It brings me back to when a teenager quarrels with friends and a sea of ??chips to call the "girlfriends"

Other times, beautiful.

Thanks for shaking and sharing. I really like the idea of ??conversion and the frame that creates a very nice retro effect

Hello hi Salvo :-P
