Fun fact for Saturday 11/15: Before the days of cell phones, before the days of long distance calls or texting, there were Teletype machines. Popular in the 20th century, they enabled companies to communicate with each other over very long distances- even over seas. You can see them in movies and early TV shows, when characters check stock prices. And those ticker tape parades? Originally named after the tape that the messages were read from, though now they usually use shredded paper or confetti. youtu.be/_dHP7eB8yR8
