Telephone Invention Day (comedy)


Now, if I could just figure out a way to get rid of this darn wire (actor portraying Bell in 1926)
"Who this?" Alexander Graham Bell places a phonecall from NY to Chicago in 1892.
.
Telephone 1.0 by Gary Gulman. Sept. 29, 2016: What is a traditional phone to a modern mobile cellphone? The Orchard Enterprises Telephone 1.0 (Live). It's About Time ℗ 2015 Virtual Comedy Network, LLC Released on: 2016-09-30.

This day in history
My cellphone has an app to make voice calls
(UPI) Today is March 7th. On this date in history: In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was granted a patent for the telephone.

[Bell may not have invented all of the components of the phone or even be the one who came up with the idea, but he is the one who gets all the credit for being the first to get a patent for a two-way transmitter-receiver that now rules our lives due to corporations like Apple and its line of iPhones. Who invented the radio? An Italian man named Gugli' Marconi. got the patent, so we say it was him. Who invented flying? Not the Wright brothers, but they get the glory. How about natural selection and the theory of evolution? If anyone answers Charles Darwin, meet Alfred Russel Wallace.]

When was the first WIRELESS phone invented?
In 1918, Finland signed a peace treaty with Germany shortly after declaring independence from Russia.

Mistakes were made, Hitler might now admit.
In 1936, Adolf Hitler ordered Nazi troops into the Rhineland, violating the Treaty of Versailles.

In 1945, the U.S. 1st Army crossed the Rhine at Remagen, Germany after capturing the strategically important Ludendorff Bridge (also known as the Bridge at Remagen). World War II in Europe ended two months later.

In 1965, hundreds of civil rights marchers trying to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, USA, were turned back by state troopers and sheriff's deputies, who beat and injured dozens of people in what became known as "Bloody Sunday." Marchers voluntarily turned around on a ceremonial walk to the bridge two days later and, on March 21, with protection by federal and National Guard troops, the main Selma-to-Montgomery march began.

In 1984, the U.S. Senate confirmed William Wilson as the first U.S. ambassador to the Vatican [the independent country called the Holy See in the center of Rome, the capital of the current Holy Roman Empire known as the worldwide Catholic Church] in 117 years.

In 1985, "We Are the World," a song composed by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and recorded by a series of high-profile music stars was released worldwide with the goal of generating funds for the USA for Africa charity. The song and related promotions eventually raised about $63 million.

In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win an Academy Award for best director for her film The Hurt Locker.

CIA: We owe much to Hitler and the Nazis
In 2013, the U.S. Senate confirmed John Brennan as director of the CIA.

In 2017, Malta's iconic Azure Window, a natural rock arch, collapsed into the sea during a storm.

In 2024, Sweden became the 32nd member of NATO after a longstanding policy of nonalignment.
