Oh, so it wasn't J. R. R. Tolkien? Bugga. At least she had guessed. It was Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. That was interesting. Perhaps this class was about muggle communication, or possibly inventions. Interesting either way.

But what other ways was society changed by the invention of the telephone? Zhenya didn't know, her live certainly hadn't changed by the invention of the telephone. She had never even used one of the things. But she raised her hand anyway, "Perhaps if someone had a broken wrist and couldn't write letters anymore, the telephone would have changed society because they could still communicate to people." That seemed like a pretty good suggestion. It would be very inconvenient if someone had broken an arm or wrist when the only method of communication was writing a letter or telegram.
