Don’t Miss BOBBLEHEADS and OLD ROCKS Day - JANUARY 7th!
from “Have YOU heard?” · host Troy W. Hudson
Have YOU heard? January 7, 1927, the first transatlantic telephone service was established between New York and London? Imagine the excitement when people could finally hear voices across the ocean! The service cost a whopping $75 for just three minutes – that's about $1,200 in today's money! Talk about an expensive phone call! January 7th is National Bobblehead Day! These quirky collectibles actually date back to the 1760s in Germany, where they were called "nodders." But it wasn't until the 1960s that sports teams started creating bobbleheads of their players, launching these wobbling wonders into pop culture history! Today is also International Programming Beast Day! It celebrates the world's first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace, who wrote the first algorithm intended for a machine back in the 1840s. She was doing computer programming before computers even existed! How's that for being ahead of her time? January 7th is Old Rock Day! No, not the musical kind – we're talking about actual rocks! Geologists worldwide celebrate this day by studying and appreciating ancient rocks and fossils. On this day in 1894, W.K. Dickson received a patent for motion picture film. Without his invention, you wouldn't be watching this video right now! Talk about a game-changer! ⏰ Timestamps: 00:16 First transatlantic TELEPHONE service in 1927 00:40 National BOBBLEHEAD Day 01:02 National PROGRAMMING BEAST Day 01:23 OLD ROCK Day 01:42 Motion Picture Film was patented in 1894 Watch and Enjoy!
