Phones Communications
This world is brought together by communications and the technological advances of the nineteenth and twentieth century have allowed us to bridge the gap between nations and communicate with people who we would otherwise have been unable to come into contact with. Phones have made it possible to talk with someone outside of our presence, a concept unfathomable to people of the past, when the only form of communication outside of talking was writing a letter. However when the telephone was patented in 1876 (by Alexander Graham Bell) it led to a revolution in the way people could communicate.
Since then phones have become the common device to be found in households all over the world and their popularity has meant that people are in constant contact. People often own mobile phones as well, which means that people can be in contact with each other no matter where they are or what time it is. Mobile phones have become monumentally popular, to such an extent that when someone refers to a phone, the natural assumption would be they are referring to mobiles rather than fixed line home phones.
Phones are vital to the way in which the world functions and will make up a large part of our society for years to come.
