Here is the message.
What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence? A
few effects suggest themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness,
injury, or famine from remote places.(註1) By joining with the elevator to(註2) make possible
the multistory residence or office building, it has made possible, for better or worse, the
modern city. By bringing about a quantum leap 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, it has crippled if not killed the
ancient art of letter writing. It has made living alone possible for persons with normal social
impulses; by so doing, it has played a role in one of the greatest social changes in family
structures. It has made the waging of war chillingly more efficient than formerly. Perhaps
(though not provably) it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of international
misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps, again not provably, by
magnifying and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice contact, it has caused
wars. Certainly it has extended the scope of human conflicts, (註3) since it impartially
disseminates the useful knowledge of scientists and the babble of bores, the affection of the
affectionate and the malice of the malicious.
The passage is mainly about ________.
