Today marks the anniversary of the first successful telephone call.
Back on March 10 1876, Alexander Graham Bell, the man who patented and is heralded as the inventor of the telephone, tested out his creation by phoning his assistant Thomas Watson.
Bell's topic of conversation wasn't necessarily what you'd imagine of such a monumental moment in history, with him simply uttering: "Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you."
Information about the scientific and technological breakthrough was detailed in Bell's scientific notebook where he scribed: "To my delight he came and declared that he had heard and understood what I said."
