A cartoon set inside Alexander Graham Bell’s cluttered 1870s laboratory. Bell, looking worried and overwhelmed, speaks into an early telephone and says, “Mr. Watson—come here—I need you!” The room around him is crowded with modern people of different backgrounds absorbed in their smartphones—an influencer taking a selfie, teens texting, a man loudly on a call, a couple ignoring each other while scrolling, and others wearing earbuds. None of them notice Bell. The caption below reads “Connected.”
On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first successful telephone call to his assistant Thomas Watson.
Connection was the goal that somehow got lost along the way.
