Connecting At The Museum Of Telecommunication

It's always fun to see old switching equipment, a brick cell phone and something called a radio. You can count your age like rings on a tree by the technology gone obsolete. Must need to visit a museum for confirmation.

The Telecommunication Museum in Tashkent is the perfect place to look at techie boat anchors. They kind of took the communications definition and ran with it.

The classic stuff, old switching, telex machines.

Old phones for every need. Does that phone come with dog tags? Been through basic dialing? A Soviet era pay phone. Comrades couldn't talk for free?

Branching out on the theme, how about model post office workers in their snazzy airline attendant uniforms? How does one become a member of the letter high club?

Rows of Soviet TVs. The helpful guide proudly proclaimed, "Black and white on the bottom, color on the top." OK. Don't forget audio. Somehow, Michael Jackson snuck behind the Iron Curtain. Of course he did.

The real reason for the museum, a nice outlet for mighty UCell to show that it is the bright future. Check out its technology reach in its model city layout. The same tour guide mentioned something about cell towers talking to greenhouses and then it all got fuzzy.
