The Lasting Landline

Since its inception in 1875 the telephone has been a device destined for great communication.

The landline telephone enables people to easily communicate with one another at great distances unlike any other device can. I doubt even Alexander Graham Bell could have imagined just how great his invention was.
The landline phone has been around for over a hundred and forty years.  Many technology advances have been spin offs of the original landline.  Many of these are similar to the original and are technological wonders in their own right, but the original wonderful creation, that marvelous achievement that changed the way the world talks to one another, is still king! The landline telephone is the time tested standard that all new devices attempt to imitate. The landline reigns supreme and empowers the users to call anywhere at any time.  While the cellular phone says call when I have enough bars and only when you have enough minutes. 

Homes and businesses alike throughout the entire world enjoy daily use of the worry free, affordable landline. From the most remote villages in far off lands, to the very shops in Boston where Bell and Watson first called out to one another with those now immortal words "Watson come here. I have something I want to show you".

Since that now historic day, many advances have been made to the device itself, including the way connections are relayed or made from one continent to another.  The telephone has been modernized to enhance the functionality for our modern world. But, the same basic premise that launched this enormously successful device remains the same. The home phone line enables the user to speak to whoever they wish, whenever they wish to do so. Be it at long distances, across the street or even within the same building.
Many of our top government agencies use a landline when security is of the importance. This is true because a landline is not so susceptible to the interception of anyone who might be monitoring the airwaves with ill intent. That’s true for all of us. It is for that very reason so many top business use the landline as a means to transfer sensitive data from one location to another. For example ATM and credit card machines use this simple way to secure the safety of information being sent for processing via the landline.

Yes, it is hard to imagine that Bell could have ever expected the telephone he invented so many years ago would become a household item

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  The same goes for the landline. The landline works to meet our needs in the crisp, clear, secure way, only it can.
