On January 7, 1927, commercial telephone service began between New York and London. Using short wave radio, the first telephone conversation occurred in 1926, but only a year later it was available to the public. It's hard to imagine now when the internet and cell phones keep us connected almost anywhere in the world that there was a time when you either wrote letters or waited til you saw the person next. I wonder what the next leap will be. I certainly hope it's not telepathy.
