Interfacing wi1
the touch tone
on your phone
Being able to interface With 'the touch tone on a
telephone will. soon' be one of the prerequisites
employers will be demanding! Arid hand in hand with
that will be the ability to store fast -paced verbal
instructions in your grey matter, and subsequently
recall which part of the instruction you need to avail.
Will the ability to communicate with human beings
fall lower on the totem pole. of skills? I doubt it, but if
youuse the phone very much you will have to agree
my first two sentences are food for thought.
Years ago, new technology meant going from the
old phone on; the wall with the crank handle that.
required the assistance of a real person to connect your
call, to the traditional. black phone that still required an
operator's assistance, to the rotary dial, `and: then to the
touch tone. •
In today's business
environment, it is not
unusual to have your call
answered by a ",voice not,
a person! The voice
prompts you to. touch 1 on
Our touch tone pad if you
know the ,extension num-
her of the person you.wish:
to speak to. ,Then you are
.told to enter the exten-
*sion.` In some instances
the extension is „followed
by the # sign. If you're
lucky you might get the
live human , being you ,
wish to'speak to: If you're
'unlucky, you.,.get voice
mail: ,
"Hi, this is John Smith'. I'm in the office today, but
I'm either away from my office or on the phone. Please
leave. a message and 111 get right .back to you. Por'
immediate assistance press 0."
1 really don't mind the new, technology. If you have
a , , handsfree mitten button Don your phone, you can
always :continue working using both hands whileyou
listen to the ''spiel", interrupt your; work to play with
the touch tone pad and,then talkwhile you continue
using both hands for some other project.
'We've come a tong away since Alexander:;Graham
Bell invented. the phone. Phone features have become
an intregal way of doing business.
People now carry eell phones and pagers, During a
recent phone call,_my grey 'matter was a :li'itle thick
The person's answering machine ,came on. He talked
for a bit and Hien proceeded to. give instructionsif. l
'wanted to fax, followed by his pager number. and more
instruction. This gent. talks rapidly.ended up with:
' part of the pagernumber and had to callbacklisten to
the message again. and get the rest of the pager nam
.ber. ,
Answering machines can be found in most homes.
these days. Some of: the'messages'Simply.d(, the job,
and some are rather funny like the older man' who says
at the end of his message ..."if you want money, "Call
the bank!" Guess who that, was alined at.
Do you get bugged when your answering machine
is flickering but no Message Was left? Ever' use the *69
feature to find dist who called last?. I got into that a
couple of tiines, but for 50 cents each, time I figure if
it was important the caller would.leave a message.- so
