Blog Post Week 14

 A topic that I thought was interesting that a group did was someone did long-distance calling. Long-distance calling is when you call someone from a different location outside of your location. An example of that would be if you called someone from a different town or state. The first-ever long-distance call wire was made in February of 1877.  The person that made that call was Alexander Graham Bell who called from Salem in Massachusetts to Boston Massachusetts. The first call out of a state was in 1915, which was from New York to San Fransisco. There are two categories for long-distance which are international and national. A national call is a call that connects two calls in the same country. An international call is a call that is two calls that are made between two different countries. Depending on the country some calls can be more expensive than others. I think learning about this was really interesting and it was entertaining to learn the facts of something that we do every day to communicate with people.
