Hello ?

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. The one in the photo is an early 1900’s phone. By 1904 over three million phones connected American lives through 60,000 operator-run switchboards. Electric speakers eliminated scorched ears around 1910. From Car Phones to Flip Phones to the phones we carry today, phones have evolved to become a part of daily life, far beyond their original purpose of voice communication.
