About the Telephone

Remember, not so long ago, when the telephone used to be a simple receiver connected by a wire to the wall? And all you used your phone for was to make a phone call? Today, new technology has changed the tele­phone and what people use it for.

Computer-based technology has given us instant connections and clearer conversations over the telephone. Nowadays, people use telephones to do their banking, to rent videos, and buy things. People use their tele­phones to connect their home computers to computerized information cen­tres. People also send letters and documents through phone lines by fax. And new systems may be available shortly for sending video pictures over the telephone.

But you don't need to be at home or at the office to use the telephone anymore. Mobile phones (also known as cellular phones) have no wires. You can carry one in your pocket or keep one in your car. A call from a mobile phone travels along radio waves to stations located in different places. From there, the radio signal is connected to the regular phone sys­tem. With a mobile phone, anyone can drive, phone and talk at the same time. This means less wasted time: you don't have to look for a phone booth or use coins to make a call. So remember, next time you are at the beach or riding your bicycle, there might be a call for you.
