The telephone wasn't invented in the thirties, but the thirties

represents a time in history when the world was changing incredible fast
and much of that change was made possible by the telephone. Without
the telephone, progress would have been much slower and people
might not have been so receptive to change. We owe a great deal to
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone- and further
developed by many others- for his invention has served mankind well
and will continue to offer society a valuable service for years to come.
A telephone, or phone, is a telecommunications device that
converts sound, typically the human voice, into electronic signals
suitable for transmission via cables or other transmission media over
long distances. Telephones became quickly indispensable to
businesses, government, and households, and are some of the most
common appliances in the developed world since then. The word
telephone, which has been adapted to many languages, is derived from
the Greek: , tle, far and , phn, voice, together meaning
distant voice.
