Dialing It Back: A Retrospective on Bell, Bag Phones, and iPhones- episode 003

This week, pick up the phone because we’re dialing it back! Way back. From Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone to the bag phones of the 90s and the smart phones we can’t put down today, we’re chatting about how the phone came to be and what it’s become. Plus, I’m challenging you to give your phone a little spring cleaning, starting with photos, contacts, and notifications.
