The telephone revolutionized society in the 1800's. The telephone improved communication by being the new, cheap way to talk to people close by, or long distance. Once Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, people were able to pay less, and talk for as long as they wanted. The telephone improved business, because now if someone had to get in touch with someone else during work, or at another business, all they had to do was pick up the telephone and talk to them the easier way. It changed everyday life, and improved it because it made things a lot easier then sending a telegraph, or a letter which could have taken days to get to. You'd just have to sit home, and just pick up the telephone if you wanted someone to talk to. The telephone did not have anything to do with improving transportation.

Throughout this time period, a lot of invetions were created. A lot of them helped our society a better place to live in. Now messages can be send across the country. It was now a faster method to communicate because of the telegraph but the after that a better invention was created which was the telephone. Railroads helped too because this way people can ship things to other places to sell the goods or to even get some for their own. Lightbulb as wel helped our society because now we didn't have to be in the darkness and it made it easier at night. Sewing machine as well and this mostly for the women who liked to sew or even had a sewing job for living. The sewing machine made it easier to make clothes and faster. There is a bunch more invetons but I have to say that the most important ones were the one I mentioned before. This invetions truly did revolutionize our society.

Inventions of the late 1800s revolutionized the society because of the many things we could do in less time. Like communtication the transatalantic cable allowed Americans to communticate across the ocean to Europe in seconds, when before it took weeks. In scheduling train stops, timezones also helped comsume time. Invention in the 1800s helped make things easier, but also helped civilize the nation to what it is today.

The steam locomotative ivented by George Stephson revolutionized society. Without the steam locomotative the U.S wouldn't have been connected with the rest of the world.For example the transcontinental railroad connected the west and the rest of the United States. Communication wouldn't be the same today because without the steam locomotative the west probably could have been another country.Steam locomotatives improved communication as well as transportation. For example when farmers wanted to get more money for their cattle they used the railroad systems to transport their cattle to big cities in order to get money.That example includes transportation and business improving.Lastly every day life improved because of the communication and transportation improving.
