ALTERNATIVE CONCLUSION
In this essay, I have seen that without overpopulation and underdevelopment,
poverty is not easily found. I have looked at education as one solution to the
problem. We should accept that the solutions would require much time,
effort, and money.

6.27 THE TELEPHONE
Discuss the following statement. Before the advent of computers, the
telephone was regarded as the most significant invention.
INTRODUCTION
There are many opinions on what should be regarded as the most significant
invention before the computer. Let us look at the telephone in terms of a time-
saving device and as a catalyst in the development of modern
telecommunications. (39 words)
BODY
First, long-distance communication constitutes a substantial as well as
indispensable part of the daily activities of modern man. For example, the
time, and therefore money, saved by any business, irrespective of type or
size, by using an effective telephone system is simply incalculable. From the
housewife on a lonely farm in the Australian Outback to the greatest
government, from workers and students to tycoons, all of us would get a great
deal less done if not for the simple telephone.
Second, except for the wheel, the telephone, more than any other invention
ever in history, has served as a catalyst for the development of an array of
devices. For instance, the greatest phenomenon of all times, the internet,
came about as a result of service providers using telephones to connect with
each other. In addition, new technology will soon result in videophones
becoming a common piece of equipment in modern society. Lastly, the mobile
phone, to name but one, has led to the birth of a number of complete
industries, generating unprecedented wealth and in the process providing a
livelihood for millions. (182 words)
CONCLUSION
Because those tiny instruments are now taken for granted, we seldom realize
the significance of what Mr. Bell did. To conclude, the telephone is
