Actually, the first telephone operators, back in 1878, were teenage boys. Sometimes, though, the teenage boys acted like... well, teenage boys. They sometimes pulled pranks on the customers and on each other, and were not always as respectful as they might have been. After several months, the Boston telephone exchange hired emma-nuttas the first female telephone operator. She was an instant success. Soon, women took the place of the young men and operators were universally female until the 1970s, when men began to join their ranks. The national telephone system in the US was operated by american-bellin those days. Exactly 125 years ago today, the american-telephone-telegraphwas incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Bell, chartered to build and operate the original long distance telephone network.
