game: calendar trivia; goodbye/fun facts....area code day...In the beginning of the world with telephones, things were easy. You didn't even call a number, you just called your operator and asked them to hook you up with someone in your town. Eventually, the phone system expanded beyond just local networks and started connecting towns, counties, states, and nations. It all started with numbering states and provinces with a single area code were assigned codes that had a 0 in the middle....and different codes were given to different states. For example, the area codes for more populous states started and ended with a lower number because during the 1940s, rotary phones were used to make calls, and more densely populated areas such as Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles were assigned simpler three-digit codes that involved less manual rotation for dialing each numerical digit. Then came the toll-free numbers...those were introduced in 1967 and they were originally only available for businesses that had a large volume of long-distance calls.
