It's amazing to see how far the telephone has come. I can't believe it has been just a little over 100 years since we had no form of communication besides face to face interaction and letters. The other concept I think is so interesting is that people actually had to use switch boards to connect people. People could only make calls from 8 am to 6pm. Telephones have allowed us so many freedoms that the people before my generation didn't have. Even in just my life time, we went from having nothing but the ability to speak on the phone to being able to do just about anything on our phones.
When I was younger my parents left me with a babysitter. My parent's left their phone number on the fridge for the babysitter. The power went out and it was dark. My babysitter couldn't read the phone number to call my parents. Times have changed so much since then, now our phones light up an have all the contact numbers in them.
