If god created us, he would at awe by his creation’s achievements at every other moment. Similarly, Alexander Graham Bell would be flabbergasted at what mankind has done to his invention. Of course, he would be glad. But the staggering pace at which new phones land up for grabs indeed shows that the foundation that Bell created left enough flexibility for man to find lilliputian ways to keep the conversation on, apart from doing everything else from WhatsApp to videos games, to watching films, to capturing photos, to what not. A lot of credit should go to companies like Apple and Samsung for making the phone a gadget that it has become these days. And the world is just lapping every phone that they launch.
