=  How did electricity change the way we communicate? = =         = =               =  Because of electricity phones could be used as a more efficient way to communicate from long or close distances. Telephones were first invented in 1876. They were designed to convert sound to electrical impulses of various frequencies. When the phone was first invented it had a lot of serious glitches but experiments to improve the phone took place. By 1904 the first telephone call was made by Alexander Graham Bell to Thomas Watson in New York to San Francisco. Phones made it easier to communicate. Now there are even wireless ways to communicate using electricity and computers make it possible to communicate by Skype, podcasts, in video chats, and many other ways. //This is a picture of Alexander Graham Bell making the first telephone call.//

Cellular phones and laptops are very common in this generation. As tecnology advances so will ways to communicate. Laptops and cell phones would seem unreal to people back in the 1800's but today they are simply an everyday activity and we are waited for something better something bigger. Some inventors may say the smaller a device the easier to carry around thats why cell phones and laptops were created in the first place and because of easy wireless access. In two-hundred years I'm sure with all the new ideas and theories technology will have advanced even further and new devices that would seem unreal today will be invented.
