Alexander Graham Bell filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent Office on this day in 1876. What one piece of technology could you not live without?

Alexander Graham Bell filed a patent application for the telephone 137 years ago today.

Since that time there have been many advances in not just the telephone (rotary dialing, anyone?), but in many forms of technology.

From large, flat screen HD TVs, IPads, the various apps you can purchase for your laptops and the many different models of smart phones that are available for you to do just about anything, anywhere, there have been technological advances happening all around us and we have grown to rely on technology for just about everything.
