What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence存在、生活方式？ 

A few effects suggest themselves at once立即. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or famine饑荒 from remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the multistory房屋多層 residence or office building, it has made possible, for better or (for) worse無論好壞，不管怎樣, the modern city.

By bringing about a quantum leap飛躍，重大進展（quantum翻譯：量子）in the speed and ease with which information moves from place to place, it has greatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological change and growth in industry. Beyond doubt毫不懷疑, it has crippled殘廢 if not killed the ancient art of letter writing.

It has made living alone possible for persons with normal social impulse欲望, 衝動; by so doing, it has played a role in one of the greatest social changes in family structures. It has made the waging摇摆、翘课 of war chillingly令人恐懼 more efficient than formerly. Perhaps (though not provably證明地）it has prevented wars that might have arisen興起 out of international misunderstanding caused by written communication.

Or perhaps, again not provably證明 by magnifying放大，擴大, 加強 and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice contact, it has caused wars. Certainly it has extended the scope範圍 of human conflicts, since it impartially公平地 disseminates散佈，傳播 the useful knowledge of scientists and the babble說話、牙牙學語，含糊不清地說；興奮地說；胡言亂語, 水聲 of bores未能引起興趣, 使厭煩 the affection、喜愛；鍾愛 of the affectionate表示愛的；充滿深情 and the malice惡意，害人之心 of the malicious惡意的，惡毒.
