Good morning, innovative DBuzzers, and welcome to Sunday!
Before diving into this week's review of DBuzz posts, let's intrigue minds with a fascinating factoid from early telephone history.
Back when switchboard operators manually connected all calls, a sneaky tactic arose in one town. A wife working at the phone company would redirect calls meant for her husband's funeral home competitor… to his business instead! This shady funneling of customers inspired the creation of automated telephone exchanges to remove such personal intervention. -Source
While we absolutely don't recommend sabotaging neighbors, it's intriguing how competition and ingenuity resulted in technology revolutionizing communication. The moral of the story? Innovation can stem from many places, even drama!
