The first telephone call
Alexander Graham Bell was the first person to talk on a telephone. He said to his assistant over the telephone: "Mr. Watson--come here-- I want to see you." This new technology was the start of one of the most important inventions still used today.

The switchboard
Manal switchboards were invented and used a couple of years after the telephone was invented. All that it had entailed was answering a phone call to find out who the caller wanted to talk to, and plugging a cord into the right place. It was a great job opportunity, and eventually, they let women do it. -
The first long distance telephone call
Bell and his assistant Watson had talked on the telephone for about an hour and a half between Boston and New York. This opened up a door for possibilities around the world because people were now able to communicate miles away from each other. This promoted business growth, relationships, technology, and even helped develop careers. It allowed for communication between governments, trading posts, and even news.

Pivate Branch Exchange
Private Branch Exchange (PBX) allowed businesses to share lines and route calls with a small number of phone lines and a large number of phones. This was more efficient in trying to connect with someone that you needed to help you, even if you didn't know there name There were three eras of PBX, and we still use it today, but it has different features with it. -
How Apple Inc. helped globalize the world
With Apple Inc giving us a computer to look at from the minute we wake up to the minute we sleep, it allowed politicians to take advantage of the internet. As we checked our Facebook and emails, no doubt have we seen the publicity ads. This changed business' way of advertisement, media of global events, and how we receive information around the world. It benefits the world.

The first iPhone
The first generation of the iPhone was designed and marketed by Apple Inc. Steve Jobs had an idea to use a multi- touch screen to interact with a computer to type on the screen without using a mouse and keyboard. With the beginning of a "portable computer" people were now able to do their job without being at their job. This was a benefit because it allowed people to communicate with businesses overseas, create new relationships, and expand these relationships among industries.(Link won't fit) -
Phones as computers
It is easier for people to "unlock" their phone and type in a question to a search engine than it is to log on to a computer, wait for the wifi, open up the internet and search the question. When Apple Inc. introduced Siri "your virtual assistant", this allowed people to have a hands free experience when making phone calls, checking text messages, and searching the web. -
Apple Inc.
In less than 150 years, we went from making the first long distance phone call to having the internet at the tip of our fingers for next to nothing. We went from a long distance phone call, to reading personal emails in Starbucks early Monday mornings on a touchscreen. People are now using iPhones less for making phone calls than they are using it as a computer.
