Today’s “Caption This” photo comes to us from inside Spaceship Earth at Epcot.
This shot, taken in 1985, depicts a part of the attraction that showcases the moment when the telephone exploded in popularity. Looks like these switchboard operators are sure earning their paycheck today.
What’s all the buzz about? You tell us in the “Comments” section below.
