90 Year Phone

Prototype

90 Year Phone, which bridged a 1920s Bakelite phone and 2010s VoIP telephony. Specifically, a black GPO 162/232 Bakelite telephone, a iPod Touch (6th generation), and Bluetooth to landline adapter. Asking Siri to place a VoIP call on an almost antique phone is quite a surreal experience. Specifically, picking up the Bakelite receiver and saying ‘Hey Siri’ was most unusual.
