The two inventions that of the telephone in 1876 and the iPhone in 2007 are both innovative design objects that have transformed the way individuals receive and communicate information. In comparison, they both are ultimately the same thing in the way that send information through electrical currents however both are vastly different. The telephone, from two different eras have impacted society and culture in many ways. Both devices broke down the tyranny of time and distance. The phone has made the world a smaller place by allowing access to information from all parts of the world. In comparison, the earlier version of the phone can be seen a much-simplified device used to increase learning and knowledge whereas the iPhone has hindered the learning of individuals.
The telegraph gave rise to a host of electrical inventions. “One of history’s greatest and influential inventions put morse codes into words” whereby Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Bell, in fact, called the telephone a “speedy …show more content…
The escalation of the telephone allowed people to connect all over the state as well as outer-state. People no longer needed to use messenger boys, but telephone lines now connected people instantaneously. A controller connected two people from one place to another.
However, there are clearly many differences in the way we communicate over long distances, the most notable of which is speed. This is most evident in relation to written forms of communication. In the past, letters would take days to arrive at their destination. In contrast, an email arrives almost instantaneously and can be read seconds after it was sent. (Bauer, 1995)
In the past, if it was necessary to send a short message, for example at work, a memo could be passed around the office, which would take some time to circulate. This is different from the current situation, in which a text message can be sent and received
