It took about three years for more telephone exchanges to open in most major cites in the United States. It was decided then to build a long distance telephone network and it started in New York and in 30 years is reached all the way to San…

we use our thoughts in the right way. For example, what if Benjamin Franklin hadn’t acted upon his thought of attaching a key to a silk ribbon in a thunderstorm? That great thought led to the invention of electricity. Or, what if Alexander Graham Bell didn’t act on the thought of experimenting with primitive sound transmitters and receivers that led to the creation of the telephone? We would all still be in the dark sending smoke signals. These two great men did not let fear or doubt…

A British scholar named Sir Francis Galton pioneered eugenics in the 1930’s, and defined it as the desire for offspring to be “well-born” (Introduction to Eugenics). Eugenics involves manipulation of human reproduction, in an effort to improve bloodlines and the overall physical and mental makeup of a man or a woman (Introduction to…

Technology and science has definitely evolved throughout the years. We have become a fully connected country where information is at our fingertips. This was unimaginable 200 years ago. It is amazing to see how far humans have come since then. A lot of it is credited to a few key people and inventions from the early 1800s. The first of these inventions is the steam locomotive. This may have been the most defining and important invention during this era. It started to connect the otherwise…

Herbert Spencer was thought to be the father of social Darwinism. He initially came up with the term survival of the fittest. Eugenics and social Darwinism were both similar since eugenics originated from social Darwinism of the late nineteenth century.

Galton characterized the expression "eugenics” as the theory of hereditary improvement of the human race by selective breeding. The…

The years after the American Civil War have been characterized by Mark Twain and others as “The Gilded Age”.

This was a period of greed, corruption, with Robber Barons, shady business tactics, and horrible political power. However, this era was the making of the modern world. We now have…

inspirations of Alexander Graham Bell or the actual telephone being built. To begin, Bruce briefly mentions George Sanders in a few sentences. Such a simple name, but a huge impact to Bell being his first deaf student that he had taught (90-91). From prior research, it is said that George Sanders later went on in life becoming successful in thanks to Bell, however it would’ve been more resourceful if Bruce provided that extra information. Another influence to Bell that lacks information includes…
