On the 25th of January 2015, exactly 100 years passed from the first ever delivered transcontinental phone call. Now, giving a call is piece of cake, but back then, it was an outstanding achievement by Alexander Graham Bell, which phoned from New York his assistant, Thomas Watson who was, at that moment, in San Francisco, on the opposite coast of the United States.
First call in 1876
"Are you there? Do you hear me?" appear to be the first words from that conversation that wrote history for all mankind. The dialog also included two other important people for the United States of America, President Woodrow Wilson, who was in the White House, and AT&T president Theodore Vail in Georgia. It is to mention that the same two brilliant men were also the authors of the first ever phone call made, on March 1876.
A century passed from that moment and now cell phone usage became so common that no one can imagine the great success of those moments. But we have to take in consideration and to respect the idea that thanks to those two men, Graham Bell and Thomas Watson, the communication industry became at the level it is today.
