First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Hello guys and welcome back to Mystery Scoop. Did you know that in the past, to connect to a call, you would have to go through a female switchboard operator. Since the invention of the telephone in the 1890s, telephone switchboards were an essential component of the communication network, used to establish connections between two telephones in two distant places. In the early days of 20th century the telephone switchboards were, in large, operated manually by switchboard operators. They were usually women, but were gradually being replaced by automated switching systems. The system did not guarantee anonymity, and your phone calls could also be listened to. In this collection we have put together vintage photos showing various telephone switchboard rooms where women operated and greeted users with their friendly voice. Lets check it out. Please note photos have been colorized using A.I. technology for ambience purposes only and it may not be historically accurate. ---
