Telephone

The telephone created by Alexander Graham Bell revolutionized communication. Due to the telegraph, no longer was the Pony Expressed required to communicate with some the next town over. However, you would still have to leave your home to go send the telegram. The telephone has gradually evolved into small computers everyone carries in their pocket. The internet can be accessed through smart phones as well as video chatting. Do you think Bell would have ever imagined his invention would be transformed to what it is today?  Technological advances have taken leaps and bounds from having to call an operator to be connected to someone else.           

           Again whether personal or professional, the telephone or cell phone has revolutionized communication. The cell phone is also responsible for such a hurried lifestyle and failed interpersonal relationship development. Hardly ever do you see a parent actually watching their kids play at the park because they are on their cell phone. While in a waiting room at the doctor’s office very little conversation occurs because everyone is using their phones. My family and I went to dinner one night and seen a family of four out together. Both parents and their kids were setting at the dinner table on their phones. Although communication through media is very convenient and beneficial we must invest efforts into not losing true social skills and face to face interaction.
