The role and impact of telephones on society is strongly shown in movies, TV shows, and music. As telephones became widespread in the mid-1900s, they became integrated into many plotlines and stories. You can also find a wide variety of telephones in movies and TV shows in all sorts of environments. Shift started to focus to cell phones and smartphones in the 2000s and 2010s as they skyrocketed in popularity. However, more traditional telephones are still found in movies set in 20th and early 21st century, as well as in business, office, and school settings, where they are still very common to this day.
