pettiness is the greatest motivation in the world.
In 1888, Almon Brown Stronger, an undertaker, noticed he was losing a lot of business to the other undertaker in his town. He found out that the other undertaker’s wife was a telephone operator. When she intercepted people asking to be connected to Stronger’s funeral home, the operator would route the call to her husband’s funeral home instead.
Three years later, Stronger patented the automatic telephone exchange, a system which allowed telephone users to make calls without the need for human operators.
His name is Strowger not Stronger smfh
