New Infographic: The History Of The Telephone

If you’re a regular reader of Family Friendly Daddy Blog, you know that my family doesn’t have smart phones; mainly because we’re too cheap to pay for a data plan, and 2nd, because the thought of “being constantly on” stresses me out.

While I am dedicated to keeping my blog up to date and relevant, I’ve done so this entire time without the use of a smart phone; including the 3+ years I was contracted to Parents.com as their offiical daddy blog.

Every post, including my dozens of car reviews, has all been done by using a “dumb phone.”

I suspect that at some point in the future, data plans might actually start being free; as phone companies will attempt to tempt me with upgrades.

It would be similar to the way our family uses a credit card for the sole purpose of ripping off the credit card company by faithfully immediately paying off each purchase, then redeeming the points.

In the meantime, I am using a cell phone that peaked the charts of coolness back in 2007. And I suppose I will be ignorant to Instragram until, if ever, data plans are free.

I’m okay with that.

Today I present you with an interesting infographic featuring the history of the telephone. It’s pretty neat, actually.

Blessed are those who were able to move past the year 2007 in phones, unlike me.

Syncing Your Phone To A New Lexus Vehicle

I’ve reviewed enough Lexus vehicles by now to have memorized the steps to sync my phone to the car. Now I want to help you learn how to do it. Okay, here we go…

Oh, and instead of boring you with long explanations, I’d rather just show you in pictures. You might laugh at my phone, though. It’s not a smart phone.

So first go to “menu,” which is likely a button on the mouse; near the gear shifter.

Next click “phone.”

Meanwhile on your actual cell phone, go to “settings and tools,” then “bluetooth menu,” then “add new device.”

Once the “add new device” option shows up on your phone, direct your attention back to the Lexus, choosing to “register” your phone with the car.

From there, your phone and the Lexus will take a few moments to “discover, pair, and connect.”

After that, you should be good to go. The next time a call is made or received, you’ll be able to carry the conversation over the car speakers.

This whole process takes less than a minute once you know what you’re doing.

Try it out. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m here to help.
