GE sent a friend and I to the fair, trying to groom potential engineers in 
promising high school students. GE isn't what it was then, and one of the 
few things that did happen was touch tone dialing. Kennedy opened the fair 
with a TT phone and there was a booth where you could see how much faster 
it was than a rotary dial. Of course Ma Bell owned the whole shebang.
