Summary

This is the one day of the year, when it's OK to 'phone it in'.

This day commemorates the first successful transmission of speech by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876.

Early hostility to the telephone included the belief that it would mean we’d become too intimate. One British journalist wrote in 1897: ‘We shall soon be nothing but transparent heaps of jelly to each other.’
