1876 - Alexander Graham Bell sent the first clear telephone message, to a nearby room, telling his assistant, Mr. Watson, “Mr. Watson, come here, I want you.”

And we'll never know what happened then.....

The first message sent by Samuel Morse was "What hath god wrought" to which the responce was "Yes".

Just thought I'd share that, kinda portrays the future of garbled communication.

Believe me, I don't even *want* to know what happened next. It all sounds pretty eerie to me.. "Mr Watson, I want you"
