Telephones'
50 years ago, in 1972, technology was much less advanced compared to today. Common technologies included early computers, landline telephones, television sets, and basic calculators. There were no smartphones, internet, or social media as we know them today.
The amount one of the first telephones are worth today varies depending on whether or not they work and if they are sold as is or are refinished. The automatic dial candlestick phone is sold between $450 to $650 while oak wood wall phones are sold at an average of $500.
Telephones were invented in 1876. No major milestone in telephones happened in 2000.
It is difficult to provide an exact number, but a large majority of households around the world have telephones today, whether they are landlines or mobile phones. The exact percentage varies by country and region, but with the rise of mobile technology, phone ownership continues to increase steadily.
Every single country on earth has telephones.
