This organization is also in charge of ensuring quality and value for the customers (Suppliers, 2012).

A hundred years from now the world will look at what was left behind from 2011 and wonder what life was like. In scientific studies a cultural artifact is an item produced by humans that furnishes cultural clues about the people who used it. Over time the artifact may change in how it is seen and used. The cell phone as a cultural artifact has come to improve and change various established types of contact in today’s culture (Nielson, 2010). Today the world uses technology in almost everything that

7 October 2015 Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3,1847 and died on April 2,1922. He is the guy who we all have to thank for inventing the telephone, without him how could we communicate? In 1866 Bell experimented on the thought of how to produce vowel sounds. He came up with the thought of combing the note of electrically driven forks, which gave him the idea of telegraphing speech.

depending on the perspective. I found it interesting and annoying at the same time. Further ahead, she meets Mr. Sakamoto. An elderly man from Nagasaki. Now this is when the book really begins for me. He was writing a biography about Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the phone. They got along really fast. Too fast, in my opinion. Even taking into consideration Alice's loneliness after Stephen's departure. We are presented, later, with the story of Hiroshi Sakamoto's past. A man deeply

any hope for doing a perfect research. In 1876, the world awoke to an extraordinary research invention, the telephone (Hamill 30). After several years of research on the telegraph, which was the sole means of communication at the time, Alexander Graham Bell succeeded in inventing the telephone. The telegraph had been in use for more than 30 years, but inefficiencies such as the inability to transmit different messages at the same time, prompted Bell and other researchers to seek new ways of improving

And if not, who is the responsible party? Why are we so programmed to blame? Alexander Graham Bell (1827) said, A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with- a man is what he makes of himself. In entering adulthood we chose how our self-esteem develops, but instead we seem to always have that, if it was not for her or
