National Telephone Day

The invention that revolutionized communication forever, this device brought people closer together and made the world feel smaller.

“Mr. Watson – come here. I want to see you.” These are the famous first words that were spoken over a telephone line when Alexander Graham Bell made the first call to his assistant in 1867.

And that was the beginning of National Telephone Day!

History of National Telephone Day

Since its invention, the telephone has grown in popularity and use as a technology that has paved the way for such important communication that now happens every day, every moment, all throughout the globe. With billions of mobile phones in people’s pockets and landlines in many homes, the world is a connected place thanks to the invention of the telephone more than 150 years ago.

While Alexander Graham Bell already has his own day on March 7, National Telephone Day is here to show appreciation for the creativity and ingenuity shown by not only Bell, but also so many of his contemporaries. It’s a time to pay respect and honor to so many inventors who never stop pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world!

How to Celebrate National Telephone Day

Pay respect and honor to the inventors of the past and the future on National Telephone Day. Consider some of these ideas for observing the day:

Make a Telephone Call

With texting and email as popular forms of communication, the telephone call may have taken a backseat in recent years. However, perhaps National Telephone Day would be a great time to step back in time and make a telephone call, just for the sake of nostalgia!

Encourage Young Scientists

Alexander Graham Bell was encouraged by his family to be creative and curious about the world. It’s likely this support and his access to education that allowed for the invention of the telephone at that time. In the same way, access to education in today’s world is critical for young students who might grow up to be the inventors, scientists, mathematicians and engineers of the future.

Whether volunteering as a tutor at a nearby school, supporting the local education system in the community, or providing money for a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) student who needs help paying for college, supporting future inventors is a great way to celebrate National Telephone Day!

Learn About Inventors

Get educated on some of those scientists who have been critical in scientific and technological advances in the past for National Telephone Day. Look up some of these folks online and learn a bit more about them:

Josephine Cochrane(1839-1913), inventor of the mechanical dishwasher.

Frederick McKinley Jones (1893-1961), developer of modern refrigeration equipment.

Johannes Gutenberg (1400-1468), inventor of the printing press.

Grace Hopper (1906-1992), creator of the first computer programming machine language.

Keep Inventing and Creating

National Telephone Day serves as a reminder to those inventors, creators, engineers and scientists that continuing to pursue new things can pay off! The world is not a static place and many opportunities are still out there, waiting to be discovered. So take this day as a bit of inspiration or encouragement to keep on growing and learning and inventing.

• @natdaycal History and science are front and center on the list of National Days today . For instance, we all use a telephone and if the names Antonio Meucci or Elisha Gray do not sound familiar you might to learn their stories. Or the history behind East Meets West Day is rather fascinating too. #NationalDNADay #NationalTelephoneDay #EastMeetsWestDay #NationalHugAPlumberDay #NationalZucchiniBreadDay Did you know tomorrow never comes? That is why we Celebrate Every Day. Tag @NatDayCal with your favorite way to celebrate the over 1,500 National Days.

It's National Telephone Day!Jamestown’s very first long distance telephone call, without the aid of an operator, was placed to Lucille Ball by her friends Marion VanVlack and Pauline Lopus. The event made the local newspaper in a headline that announced, “Lucy Asks For Swedish Rye Bread in DDD Call”. The article read: ’Lucille Ball sends her love to all her friends here. And in the next breath she asks about chances to get some good Swedish rye bread. It took only 30 seconds after dialing the 13 digit number to reach Warner Brothers Studios and then a few minutes longer to be connected with the set where she is rehearsing for ‘Critics Choice’, with Bob Hope. She sounded near enough to be up in her former home at Celoron. And when we told her we had chosen her for our first direct distance dialing call, she let out an enthusiastic, “Oh, how nice!”’—Jamestown Post Journal, 1962 #lucilleball #jamestownny #longdistancecall #criticschoice #ontheset #vintagearticles #vintagenews #nationaltelephoneday #telephone #phonecall https://www.instagram.com/p/COGKtqknwvR/?igshid=1usqt09rjgogu
