Dialing It Back: A Retrospective on Bell, Bag Phones, and iPhones- episode 003

This week, pick up the phone because we’re dialing it back! Way back. From Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone to the bag phones of the 90s and the smart phones we can’t put down today, we’re chatting about how the phone came to be and what it’s become. Plus, I’m challenging you to give your phone a little spring cleaning, starting with photos, contacts, and notifications. Relevant links:Get each episode and the shownotes straight to your inbox every Monday by subscribing at MyInternetBesties.Substack.com. Calendar: 4- Mardi Gras, 8- International Women’s Day, 10- Daylight Savings Time, 17- St. Patrick’s Day, 18- March Madness, 20- The Best Club Book ClubDeep dive: Alexander Graham Bell | Lewis Howard Latimer | Melville Bell | Gardiner Greene Hubbard | Mabel Bell | Helen Keller | Baddeck, Nova ScotiaPhoto references: my bag phone | my beeper | my Nokia 3310Tara Bremer: House Peace IG | web | personal IGMom 2.0 Summit is April 3-5 in Orlando.
