Content: When the telephone was first introduced it could only be afforded by the rich as the materials needed for connection were very expensive (Pool, 1977). Alexander Graham's wish was to reduce the expense of materials so that the poorest man cannot afford to be without this telephone ( Pool, 1977). The telephone was promoted on the grounds that it would increase wealth, employment and improved means of communication. The invention of the telephone lead to development of city centers, office buildings and the concept of an urban worker society. It has lead to the creation and destruction of jobs. The need for positions such as messenger boys, telegraphers and, ironically, operators, became virtually unnecessary (Bauer, 1995). It has changed the pace of business and made the world smaller and more accessible to all. The telephone has provided security and helped in emergency situations . The telephone is both a conqueror and promoter of crime. Suspicious looking strangers are scared away from houses who display telephone based alarm systems and people who need help could call fire trucks, doctors or police.
