About National Telephone Day
You can celebrate your love for telephones on April 25 each year, which is National Telephone Day. The holiday was originally celebrated in May 1967 in honor of the 100 millionth telephone line being installed in the United States.
Governors and dignitaries jumped on the largest conference call ever held at that time to mark the occasion and received gold telephones as part of the celebration.
Early hostility to the telephone included the belief that it would mean we’d become too intimate. One British journalist wrote in 1897: ‘We shall soon be nothing but transparent heaps of jelly to each other.’
