Forsaken Island
Christopher Sholes -- Typewriter (1867)
Sholes' major input was both the primitive typewriter and the QWERTY keyboard that was later developed to refine his typewriter. While the initial goal of the typewriter was the creation of a way to number book pages, tickets, and other documents, the machine's development later proceeded to include letters. The first model was sent out to stenographers for testing; the QWERTY keyboard system is still being used today. A typewriter would be an excellent invention on the island, assuming there would be plenty of reedy papyri or some sort of paper-like plant substance to be used for typing. It is a major equipment for putting down thoughts to paper, and should somebody else be stranded in the same island, the typed-up papers might even provide some reading entertainment or maybe even advice!

Inventions of Modern Times Alexander Graham Bell and the Telephone The United States has produced many inventors, but few as significant as Alexander Graham Bell. Bell's 1876 invention of the telephone revolutionized society. For the first time in history, it became possible to communicate directly and instantaneously across vast distances.

Long-Term Ramifications of the Ma Bell Breakup The old Ma Bell was far from perfect, but she deserved her good name. -- Tom Nolle, 2003 Given its prospects, the new Ma Bell looks an awful lot like the old Ma Bell. And that's not a good thing. -- Shannon M. Heim, 2005 The dichotomy of views exemplified by the epigraph above is reflective of the love-hate relationship that Americans have always had
valuable assets as they help a person stand out and give him his most basic identity. For this reason, I feel that parents must pay attention to the name they choose for their babies because the child has to live with it for the rest of his life and it better be something they can be happy about. My name is Jason Alexander and there is certainly a good story
(Lesser underground cabling). Signal degradation is also less in optical fibres compared to coaxial copper cables. From the security perspective as well optical fibres are more dependable. Since they are safe from any kind of electrical or magnetic interference installation engineers have great relief as they do not have worry about the proximity of the cable to other electrical installations. Further, the absence of current implies that there is
Telephone and its impact on Communication and Technology The humanities generally encompass such subjects as languages, history, philosophy, religion, music and theater, literature, and law; but they also include what is referred to as the "social sciences," which include anthropology, cultural studies, as well as technology and communication.
