A long-standing invention, the telephone has been around in some form for many, many years. Early versions of the telephone, however, thought to have appeared only a few hundred years into man's existence, worked very differently to those we store in our underwear today. Then telephones used the human mouth as a mouthpiece, and the human ear to pick up its signals. Range was also a lot shorter. Truly, the days when everything was in black and white and that were considerably different to how we live today. School finished 10 minutes later, Mars bars were 3 and sixpence, and some other stuff. Mate.

Where would we be today without the telephone? Russia. The telephone has been vital to many of the decisions and events that shaped the world as we know it. It's said that America was founded by telephone. And perhaps most famously of all, the Second World War(s) was began (beginned) when German leader Andrew Hitler sent an SMS to Terry Poland of Poland, saying: "r u jokin wots all this about i thought we were frends. war y/n"

Truly, it can be said that the telephone is a wonder of modern design. "Snow" joke!

Telephones: A++++++ would use again.
