ON THIS DATE, MARCH 10TH, IN 1876…
From that first ever telephone call by Alexander Graham Bell and to this day, the world would never be the same.
“History was made” and “never be the same” are expressions used
with abandon and lack of a sense of precision for trivial things. But when it
comes to the invention of the telephone, this is, if anything, an
understatement.
It started as an almost peripheral function, even as a few
understood way back in 1876 that March 10th was a paradigm shift, a
game changer, a turning point from which nothing in the many ways we interact would
be spared.
It started then and never stopped.
Look at us now, a humanity where many cannot function
without phone in hand.
