That's amazing, I heard they are also working on a device the let's you talk to someone without being in the same room. Something about a telyfone?
You can even send a Marconigram now, over the ether to a faraway land. Some day Man will land on the moon. By then we will be more correct and say People instead of just Man.
Reminds me of the early days of the space program. US spent MILLIONS developing a pen that would write under all conditions that were to be expected on a space craft. Russians gave their guys a #2 pencil. Who was smarted?

Actually I have; pencil wins hands down. Both markings inside old organs and notations on paper books and rolls from 100+ years ago. The pencil is always perfectly clear, the pen strictly dependent on the ink used. Something like India ink lasts forever (just another allotrope of carbon), dye-based inks are a complete crapshoot whether they last five years or 100.
