THE PHONE MAN

Happy birthday to one of the most important inventor on earth. Without the telephone, I think nobody can get the convenience of communication. Heck.. there won’t be internet also. Communication plays an important part in one’s life. Even the animals communicated in their own ways, sonic for the dolphins, rattling of the tails by the crocodiles, use of beautiful tails to attract the opposite sex, the peacocks…. Hmmph.. finally putting into use my National Geographics knowledge.

So, we have one man to thank for. Mr Alexander Graham Bell. (*Clap*Clap*)

Here is a short write up on this great man extracted from Nokia Calender 2004.

“Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods.” That’s how Alexander Graham Bell once summed up his approach to life and invention. By taking the road less travelled, Bell struck new paths that connected and still connect people the world over. Alexander Graham Bell invented the multiple telegraph, the Photophone (which resembled the fibre-optic communications we use today) and the Hydrofoil – the fastest watercraft in the world. 4 days after his 29th birthday, he received the patent for the telephone. On 25 June 1876, the telephone was exhibited for the first time in Philadelphia and the world has been in close contact even since.
