Oralism is “the system of teaching deaf people to communicate by the use of speech and lip-reading rather than sign language,” and manualism is “a method of education of deaf students using sign language within the classroom.”

Manual/Oral Controvery. The Controversy regarding whether deaf children should be taught using manual or oral approaches.

The Oral method is a method for communication and educating deaf and Hard-of-hearing children using only the spoken language, lip reading, and voice training. The Oral method is strongly advised by hearing people who don’t want children to have to rely on Sign language and/or interpreters to communicate with others.

“Oralism was a tool — if successfully mastered — and oralists hoped it would normalize deaf people and remake them in the image of hearing, speaking Americans,” Greenwald said. “The main goal was to ensure that deaf students integrated with hearing children, while minimizing contact between deaf people.

Oralism and sign language (also known as manualism) are the two sides of a heated debate that delves into issues as complex as human rights and societal integration.

“I think Alexander Graham Bell’s greatest crime was keeping deaf people apart from each other. It wasn’t so much that he thought speech was important.

Stranger is the story that telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell chose hello as a phone greeting because it was the name of his girlfriend, one Margaret Hello. (She never existed — Bell developed the telephone while he was engaged to Mabel Hubbard, and she would be his wife until his death in 1922.)

The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Bell is 1 in 57. Based on FBI crime data, Bell is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to California, Bell has a crime rate that is higher than 41% of the state’s cities and towns of all sizes.

By 1900 there were nearly 600,000 phones in Bell’s telephone system; that number shot up to 2.2 million phones by 1905, and 5.8 million by 1910. In 1915 the transcontinental telephone line began operating. By 1907, AT had a near monopoly on phone and telegraph service, thanks to its purchase of Western Union.

You could buy them for as little as $10 (about $25 – 30 in today’s dollars). If I recall correctly, basic phone service was around $30 per month, and long distance calling (anything beyond the city limits) was extra for each call, and would be at least $0.10 per minute.

Before the 1950s the coin-phone charge throughout the country typically was five cents. In the early ’50s, it climbed to 10 cents in most areas as the Bell System asked for and won rate increases. In the early 1970s the company tried to get the coin charge set at 20 cents.

19 February 1880: The photophone, also called a radiophone, is invented jointly by Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter at Bell’s Volta Laboratory. The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light.

Alexander Graham Bell’s original telephone, patented in 1876, worked by converting sound into an electrical signal via a ‘liquid transmitter’. When sound waves hit the membrane, it caused vibrations, varying the strength of the current passing between the needle and the contact.

Receiving Party Pays is a payment model set basically in the cellular market, that states that the payment for an incoming call is set on the receiver. That model differs from “Calling Party Pays” in which the caller is the one who pays for the other side receiving it.

Apple went on to over 10 updated models of the iPhone. The iPhone helped turned Apple, which Jobs (1955-2011) co-founded with his friend Stephen Wozniak in California in 1976, into one of the planet’s most valuable corporations. In 2012, five years after the iPhone’s debut, more than 200 million had been sold.

The first generation iPhone was manufactured in the Shenzhen factory of the Taiwanese company Hon Hai (also known as Foxconn). The first-generation iPhone is commonly retroactively referred to as the “iPhone 2G” due to only supporting 2G mobile data.

For example, the original iPhone was priced at just $499 in the U.S. However, this was for the 4GB model. For consumers in need of an upgrade to 8GB, the price rose to $599.

Now, a decade later, the price has actually climbed even higher for a 1st generation iPhone because of its collectible value — as long it’s new and unopened. Currently, the product that was first released to the public on June 29, 2007 is selling for $4,000 on eBay unopened and in its original packaging.

Apple has discontinued the original iPhone, and it can no longer support updated operating systems. But it appears some people don’t like change (or spending hundreds of dollars a year for a new phone). As of 2015, about 0.1% of iPhone users still used the original or second model, Time reported.
