The influence or the telephon on American life.

Telephone is not a luxury or an accessory but a mandatory and a necessary method in today’s world.
Before telephone was invented, the main communication unit was family. News was slow, and people knew what was going on by newspapers mostly. To contact with people who live far, people used letters or even doves.
When telephone is invented, it was a symbol of luxury. Telephone was not a common accommodation, and rare people have it.
After telephone became common, people had their own telephones in their houses, and people also can use public telephone to call anyone.
Now, cellular phone is invented, and house phone became an accessory. Also public phone started to disappear. Almost everyone can talk to anyone in anywhere at anytime. Now, the main communication unit became the world.
Telephone narrows the wide communication space and time. In the past, the world was really a vague place, but today, the world is just like a country. People send a letter to someone else who lives in another country, it used to take 10 days to go and another 10 days to come. However, now, people can call anyone in any country immediately. Moreover, with cell phones, people can check their e-mail or news on demand, and they can even listen to music through MP3 players that are in their cell phones.
The invention of telephone improved people’s life; people can know what happened in the world faster, and the world became a town. However, too much development produced cellular phone, and it intensified individualism. People started to make their own world, and refused to communicate with other people; eventually, cellular phone narrows social communities.
I also have a cell phone, and if I lose it or disconnect it, I might feel isolated and uncomfortable. Everyone has their own cell phone, and some of them even don’t have their home phone. Telephone is placed deep not only in American society but also in the world society.
There is not influence that Americans only have because of the telephone. As I said above, the world is a town these days. Influence of telephone is worldwide. Individualism spread all over the world, and it is still spreading. I think the invention of telephone makes our life easier and more comfortable, but I don’t think it only have bright sides.
