When Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876, I wonder whether he realised the impact this new technology would come to have on people’s lives. Use of this new device wasn’t instantaneous though; after all, if you didn’t know someone else who had a telephone, what was the point in owning one? This chicken and egg scenario is mirrored ...
