1876: The first telephone is invented!

As most of us already know Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone in 1876. According to the Grolier Encyclopedia Bell invented the telephone as a means of communication over real distances, using human speech instead of such non-vocal codes like the Morse Code. The Morse Code was a code for giving and receiving messages which short dot and long dash signals represented letters of the alphabet.

2020: The first telephone is programmed into the computer!

You will no longer have to buy a telephone with the latest features. The latest model telephone is now installed into the computer. There is a specific chip that is found in telephones and that chip will now be installed into the computer. This will enable you to install the software onto your hard drive and will provide you with a telephone icon on your desk top. All you will have to do is click the icon and a telephone will pop up. Dial the number and you will immediately get that person on the line. This works for people with and without a computer.
