Of the total 100000 telephones In
the world
Less than sixty years ago there was
not a single telephone in existence.
The first conversation between two
tCAopuOHcs was uelu march III, 1876
By 1880 the number of telephone
stations in this country had increased
to S0,S72. Conversation was then
limited to forty-iive miles. In ten
years the number of telephones had
increased to 211,50O and the distance
that the human voice could carry was
900 miles.
By 1900 long distance telephone com.
munication had become more general
and the principal cities, towns and
communities Of the eastern half Of the
United States could converse with
each other, but 1t was not until 1915
that the continent was spanned. In
1921 telephone service was extended
to Cuba. then in 1927 to Europe, and
subsequently to far-flung outposts In
almost every part OF the world.
Z Communication moves forward and
today people speak with each other
almost everywhere.
