Answer 1

truckers would like to believe that with out them nothing would be delivered to the stores for you to purchace, while this is true, with out the telephone the orders for that merchandise on those trucks would not be placed in a timely fashion, and all commerce would depend on courier messengers, and the postal service, delaying shipments of goods..

the telecommunications industry is the backbone of the economy, it allows businesses to quickly and efficiently place orders for merchandise, for stock traders to make immediate trades with out having to be at wall street....

If you can use a phone, im pretty sure you can answer to that question yourself.

and if you're lucky, you might not even need to do any research.

Type the word "Telephone" into Wikipedia and see who invented it and what that enabled people to do.
