• Kimberly Stathis- the telephone: This is an idea that changed the way we communicate and conduct business with others. The telephone made it possible to be able to communicate with others nearby or far at a faster rate. Instead, of having to wait weeks or maybe months to hear from someone, now people were able to communicate with another person in a matter of minutes.
