Tech History Made on March 10, 1876

On this day in 1876 the first phone call was made. Alexander Graham Bell called his assitant in the next room. He said,"Mr. Watson, come here -- I want to see you." Mr. Watson heard and understood. He walked into the next to find a very excited and proud Mr. Bell. Watson diary records the sentence as, "Mr. Watson come here I want you." This was not the biggest controversy surrounding the telephone. We have told you before of the patent war between Bell and Gray.
Who was the first is still unclear but Bell be far has the more exciting story.
