Telephone switchboards are obsolete. Since the invention of the electromechanical automatic telephone exchange manual switchboards have been being phased out. The rare switchboard still in use today may be found at hotels or businesses that have not updated their system, though this is rare because a personal computer can substitute for a switchboard easily with the right program and connection.

Keeping your home phone is NOT old-fashioned - it's being smart and staying safe!
