Although there have been many great inventions over the past century, I
think that the telephone has had the biggest impact.
The telephone offers many advantages, the first and foremost of which is
strengthening people's connections. No matter how far the distance is
between one another, we can still keep in touch. It has helped to improve
people's interpersonal skills and helped to foster a sense of community.
By staying in touch via the telephone, information became more accessible
and social dynamics changed on many levels. For example, the way in which
meetings or parties were arranged became far more convenient and
immediate.
By reducing the need to travel to communicate, the telephone also had a
massive impact on economic activities around the world. Boosting the
economy with such an invention is unquestionable. Companies that could
communicate quickly naturally gained a competitive edge over competitors.
One could purchase commodities via the telephone or engage in various
business deals without having to travel. One example of this is the adoption
of tele-banking to manage one’s assets and investments.
While some people may express concerns about privacy with this
technology, overall the advantages of the telephone far outweigh its
disadvantages. We must keep in mind that any technology can be a doubleedged sword. In a positive way, the government can use telephones to keep
an eye on suspicious activities that may endanger the nation. Therefore, this
actually keeps our homeland security safe. It can prevent terrorism,
kidnappings, government corruption, scams, and drug trafficking from
happening. What’s more, if someone requires urgent medical assistance, we
can dial 911 immediately. It is widely acknowledged that the telephone has
reduced casualty rates throughout the world.
While many people take the invention of the telephone for granted, its
benefits are truly innumerable. The telephone has become part and parcel
of our lives and it enables us to have a better quality of life. Unquestionably,
it is the most important invention in the past century
