The invention of the telephone...

Featured Replies

Alexander Graham Bell and a Mr. Grey simultaneously invented the telephone.  Bell got his patentd first and therefore is known as the inventor of the telephone.

We've all heard the story of how Bell spoke into the phone and said, "Mr. Watson come here, I need you."  As Mr. Watson entered the room Bell knew he had a marvelous invention.  But the story doesn't end there.

Just after Mr. Watson entered the room Bell's telephone buzzed and a voice came over it saying, "Your extended warrantee has expired....." and thus the first telemarketer call was answered.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Thanks, Noel!  I get those damn calls 3 or 4 times a week!  Not to mention the robotic call from "Amazon"  stating someone is charging a $1200 laptop to my account.  Please press the # sign to speak with a representative to verify your credit card info!

Like that ain't gonna happen! 🤔😳

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

We bought one of those 1920's phones like you see in the old movies. You can plug them in to USB internet phone like Magic Jack thru a little adapter, you don't need a wired phone line to use them.
