Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone
Telephone Sketch
This is a picture of a sketch that Alexander Graham Bell drew of the telephone around 1876, one of the most important inventions of the common era. This picture is courtesy of the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress.
The invention of the telephone transformed communication into what it is today, every person being one touch and a few seconds away. What used to take weeks to do, for example contacting someone in Hong Kong from New York, takes only moments.
This has significance to me because my younger brother is currently studying abroad in Israel, and I can speak to him whenever I want to.
