Telegraph and Telephone Day

Hello😃
I feel sleepy now, so when I finish writing the blog, I'm going to sleep💤

It is "Telegraph and Telephone Day" today. On the same date in 1869, in Meiji 2, the construction of the first telegraph line between Tokyo and Yokohama in Japan started.

About 70% of the Japanese people own their smartphone today. There are more households without land-line phone. And these days we don't often see pay phones. Oh I haven't used one for over ten years... I guess I try calling someone through a payphone😁
