28 feb 1876 año - Invention of the Telephone (Story: 4/10)

Descripción:

The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. It revolutionized global communications through allowing people to have conversations while standing miles away from each other. Because electricity was more accessible in urban communities, rural Americans didn’t have access to phones until significantly after their invention. Although the telephone was a welcome addition to society, it raised the question of how much authority the federal government had over individual privacy.
