everybody knew that the key inventor of the telephone transmitter was thomas edison. one inventor is the second assumption. the third assumption is that this is a big break from what came before. it is not just an incremental improvement, it is a whole new thing. you see the telephone as a new thing entirely as opposed to seeing it as a kind of advanced telegraph. the way you draw a line in progressing technology. it is also want to think about when think about who invents what. there are assumptions we take for granted. there are assumptions to all of the arguments about the telephone, where the support bell or someone else. there was a reason why we start with these assumptions about the telephone. the reason is the law. story about alexander graham 's invention of the telephone was a story told by his lawyers. rightnt is an exclusive to grant from the government. all you have control of using that particular invention and exclude others.

the capital building had been wired for electricity by thomas edison. sometimes, if you are ahead of the curve in terms of technology , you become obsolete faster than everyone else. until 1960, the capital had direct current, which meant you could not plug anything into the wall. as a result, the radio-tv gallery where radio and television reporters operated petitioned the senate to have a role in the construction of the new building. there were television correspondents and representatives of the television networks serving on the board to help design the building. as a result, you have large committee rooms with paneled walls. part of the panel could be lifted up. there is a section in the back where television cameras and lights can be set in and not interfere with hearings or people trying to attend hearings. design of the committees were set up differently. the table they used to sit around was replaced with a dais like this one in which the senators would sit at the dais, the witnesses would sit at a table facing them. it made more interesting te
