It's an anthropomorphic Telex system!
Love the typography here; reminds me of 1970s business-to-business advertising, which is about the time I started working out in the larger world.
I found a Telex machine at my job and sent a one-liner to my Dad at his job. He told me the next day that that probably cost my employer's client about $1.20 USD in 1978. I tracked down the company's secretary (Admin, today) and offered to pay them back. "Don't worry about it but don't do it again." Dumb kid stuff.

True; the networked world is more a way of life than a luxury, today. Even my phone gets 5GB a month. My brother just trashed our cable TV service and we're using streaming services. We're saving over $100 USD a month. Still keeping the unlimited cable internet, though.
