Voice comes to Second Life

“Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you!”

by Surfdaddy Orca

The words “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you!” were first uttered into a telephone in Boston, Massachusetts on March 10, 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell to his assistant Thomas Watson.

The phone was made of a wooden stand, a funnel, a cup of acid, and copper wire, which transmitted his voice to Mr. Watson listening in on a receiver in another room.
