Calling is a matter of course for us these days - but when Alexander Graham Bell called his assistant on April 10, 1876, it was a grand affair, and it is this day that we remember in our article today. In its second part, we will talk about the arrival of the third version of the Netscape internet browser.

Alexander Graham Bell calling his assistant (1876)

Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, made a successful telephone call from his office on March 10, 1876. The recipient of the call was none other than his devoted assistant Thomas Watson. During the phone call, which is believed to be the first in history, Bell invited Watson to stop by his place. Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He has always been fascinated by sound and the ways in which it spreads. After experiencing success with his invention of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell wrote a letter to his father in which, among other things, he envisioned "a future in which friends will converse without leaving their homes."

Netscape and the Third Generation Browser (1997)

Netscape Communications Corp. on March 10, 1997, it announced the arrival of the third generation of its own web browser. A browser called Netscape (or Netscape Navigator) was for a certain part of the 50s one of the main competitors of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. At the time, Netscape Navigator offered a number of advanced features, including support for cookies, JavaScript, and more. For a while, Netscape held roughly a XNUMX% share of the relevant market, but very quickly began to give way to Internet Explorer, mainly due to not always fair practices on the part of Microsoft.
