Internet Inefficiencies and Instability

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented what he called his “electrical speech machine,” modernly known as the telephone [2]. For several years after its invention, the telephone was known only to be nothing more than a laboratory experiment. Shortly after the turn of the century, however, came the advent of circuit switched networks, allowing for the efficient global deployment of telephones. The ability to communicate long distances fundamentally impacted the world socially and economically, while the very concept of communication was transformed before our very eyes.
