Alexander won the Hughes Medal, because he recognized how human voices and music notes work, and how he could modify them to create an invention that would involve those two things. Alexander won the Albert Medal, because he Invented the telephone, which help tremendously in the science community. He contributed to the science community by inventing something that helped them.

A world without telephones would mean a world without communication and a struggle to complete everyday tasks. Ninety-one percent of Americans would not be able to call, send text, set alarms, or check social media on the go.

Riverbend Telephone Company The Riverbend Telephone Company is experiencing growth and had previously tried outsourcing some of its installation work to handle the overflow above its capacity. This was unsatisfactory, and so to accommodate the new customers, RTC needs to obtain a new maintenance truck and crew. It is considering whether leasing or buying the new truck necessary to their operations is the preferable method of investment. Question 1& 2 Without considering financing the purchase
Starr argues that it is the government and political decisions that mainly influence the development of the post office, telegraph, and telephone during the 19th and early 20th centuries. While accurate in some regards, this view is too narrow-sighted in that it forgets the impact that users (individuals and organizations) had on the development of the various technologies. It also overlooks the fact that the users of the systems are able to influence the government, either through voting or through
one wire. With great triumph with the telephone, Bell began to showcase his invention across Massachusetts and conventions, colleges, and meetings. He became a well respected, known inventor (Bell Invents the Telephone). People were amazed at Bell’s invention and were astonished when they were able to instantly hear someone talking miles away. Bell’s invention would create the basis f communication and allow other inventors to make advancements to the telephone for future generations. Bell used his
Graham Bell, the man behind the creative invention; the telephone. Not only was the telephone one of the biggest invention in the history of America, but it was the most successful one as well.

Perspective is everything. Looking at a situation from one point of view does not complete the picture. Details are lost in a single side of the story, and others are exaggerated.
