By 1963, America had advanced from the Jet Age to the Space Age. Noteworthy events of the year (pop culture-wise) were the dramatic changes brought by the introduction of Zip Codes, which redefined the way a letter was addressed. Moreover, the Area Code, introduced -in New Jersey- in 1951, was gradually being adopted nationwide and was modifying the way one dialed a phone call.
