How successful was the regime in overcoming the opposition to the regime? Opposition was slowly growing within the Tsars Empire and Alexander II felt threatened and took action that in fact reversed some of his reforms. He was very disgruntled that people were actually going against him, as he considered himself to have done so much for them, the biggest being emancipation.

the world. Whether it was something as simple as a stone weapon to kill off animals, or something life-changing as the telephone, we humans have always been extremely curious. We follow our own instincts, and new ideas are formed. In the 1870s, Alexander Graham Bell invented what now has become the most important thing in our modern world- the telephone, but it was not as widely accepted because at the time, “The world was not waiting for the telephone” (Biss 1). The text “time and Distance Overcome”

I wonder how would people communicate if Alexander Graham Bell hadn’t invented the first phone, which could transmit the human voice? Admittedly, thanks to his invention, the branch of information communication in history in the world was entered the new era. Especially, the appearance of mobile phone have not only created solidly foundations for phones generation thereafter but also made the life become easier in comparison with the phone before. One of the most noticeable discrepancies is the

Alexander III, Nicholas’s father, became the emperor of Russia while he, at the mere age of thirteen, became heir.

past 40 years, that is, the period since World War II. A survey of business cycle causes over an entire century runs into several problems, of which three seem noteworthy. First, it is not at all clear what “cause” means in this context. Second, the Great Depression was such a large cycle that it cannot be seen as just another data point. Third, the survey relies on the existing literature on business cycles, which is why I have entitled it an essay in economic historiography. The paper proceeds by

wireless technologies and the Internet. However, over the last two centuries, this evolution has become exponential; the nineteenth century brought forth the semaphore, then the telegraph and culminated with the 1976 invention of the telephone, by Alexander Graham Bell(1). In 1885, the Bell Telephone Company commenced operations in Alberta, Canada. A century later, in 1990, the Telus Corporation is established, via the largest IPO in Canadian history up to this time, raising $896 million (2). Telus

we have mobile phones, airplanes and off course computer which had made our lives very simpler. Its very difficult to imagine a world without mobile phones and computer. I do really think the technology has really made our lives very simpler. Alexander Graham Bell who has invented telephone in the 19th century would have never thought that his invention would be so much advanced now. Earlier phone was just used for communication between persons but now it has become a part of our lives. The innumerable
