Here is the story of evolution of 'telecommunication'--communication over distance--told through pictures. The picture below is of one of the most beautiful phones ever created by Ericsson and occupies place of pride not only in its creator L.M.Ericsson's museum in Telephone Plan, Stockholm, but also in private collection of the site-creator Niraj K.Gupta--a telecom professional. This phone was popular from 1892 to 1929 with minor variations in models. Hope you will enjoy the telecom saga leading to today's mobile phone which has revolutionised our lives
