Do you think Alexander Graham Bell ever imagined how much time women would spend on the phone?

Woman On Cellphone

Alexander Graham Bell is credited with inventing the telephone in 1876. He thought it would be a useful device, but we doubt he ever anticipated how much it would be used.

Original Telephone?

In particular, do you think Alexander Graham Bell ever imagined how much time women would spend on the phone?

Clearly you haven’t read about his wife, Mabel. While i haven’t seen it written explicitly anywhere that she insisted he invent the telephone. I’m certain that it is implied hundreds of times as she “influenced” and “supported” him and his work. I think most married men know exactly what those words insinuate.
Ell oh ell!

AV, why's it the women? Ever think he'd wonder why guys would rather go blind texting a gal than to pick the phone up for a few moments to actually talk?

It's NICE to hear the rich voice of the one you love on the phone, right in your ear, especially now with the headphones. If you're on with the right person it can be spine-tingling, which just doesn't happen with a text.

He probably didn’t think the modern smart phones would be a thing either, if it weren’t for smartphones everybody, men included. Would spend far less time on their phones.

My parents are gen X, I’m a Millennial. They talked on the phone in the 80s too, but not as much as they currently do now

[NathanDavis]

and maybe that's why he came up with it?

"if I make a telephone and place it all the way at that side of the house, and then... make a radio all the way here, the other side of the house... I could just listen to the Association Football game instead of..."

[Genie23]

LOL! I feel so attacked right now 😭🤣

I don't think he had any idea how much time most women spend on the phone call, lol

[KostasKouvalis]

Nah. But men spent just as much if not more time on it doing other things. I don't think he imagined phones would become so advanced. I can't find it now but I remember seeing a segment on the history channel that Bell stole the design from another inventor

[purplepoppy]

Do phones ring because his names Bell? Mine plays a tune but I still say it's ringing.

WOMEN? EVERYONE is on the phone all the time because now the phone is also a computer and is used to get you to and from everywhere, to order food, get directions to a friends place, take and store pictures.

We are ALL on the phone all the time because the phone is a multiuse support machine. But there are some people who are always talking. I think it's as much a male as a female practice.

[sage2021]

Maybe that was one of his inspirations! Shed be busy on the phone and then he could have time to do whatever he wanted to.😅

[Nikki1989]

You must know different women than me.

[BCRanger10]

Probably. Knew he'd make a fortune.

I'm sorry, ladies, I love you all 😆

[exitseven]

He would literally go nuts if he could see the whole cell phone phenomenon.

[msc545]

I doubt that he did that because if he had I don't think we would have a telephone at this point.

[midnightmoon05]

lol… definitely not. He was too busy with his work.

[chrissykerdock]

and men spend more time jerking off

[Bloodparadise]

Not hot.. just random blabbering

[Anonymous]

He had no idea, lol :P

[strateguy632]

I don't

[Shiprex]

Probably not.

[WonderingManII]

Probably not.

[Dongie]

Nope!
