There was a time when to stay in touch with relatives and friends who stay far away, people use letters as the broad medium of communication. But, with the invention of telephones, role of letters had been reducing day by day, as communicating with people staying anywhere in the world is possible in just few seconds. In early days, when telephone was not invented, letters often required many days to reach the specified destination but now we just dial a number and within fractions of a second, we hear the voice of our loved ones.

Telephones in fact have reduced the distance. Now the distance does not matter when we have to talk to our loved one (relatives, friends, or anyone else). With introduction of telephones in our life, it has become possible for us to build strong contacts because we can talk to our loved ones anytime we want. Let us see some of the areas that are influenced by this invention:

Home: Today, telephones can be seen in every home in this world. The type of the phone does not matter i.e. be it a fixed line, cordless, or mobile phone, we can see one or more of such types in homes. In fact, we cannot just imagine our life without phones. Using telephones, we can anytime ring the concerned person to talk with him or her. Whether the person is in the same city, same country, out of the city, out of the state, or out of the country, we can anytime talk with the person.

Business: Telephones are considered backbone of businesses. Now days, no one can imagine to have a successful business without telephones. Whether you have to appoint new employee, contact with a client, contact with vendor, contact with employees, or perform any other communication related task, telephones play an important role. Telephones save a significant time that could have been wasted in transferring the message through letters.

Casualty: It is one of the aspects of our life, which we do not like but have to accept. Mishap can be happened with anyone and anytime like accident, heart stroke, fire, etc. At that time, telephones become vital to inform the concerned authority to get required help. For example, you need to call fire brigade in case of fire, ambulance in case of accident or heart stroke, and police in case of fight.

These are some areas, where telephones play an important role. This is why telephones are imperative for us.
