** In technology? ** First there were pigeons to transport messages. Then a genius **(Alexander Graham Bell)** invented the telephone. Then came caller ID. Then digital phone. Today we have made it even further in telephone technology. Now we can see who is calling us by simply looking at the T.V. screen. Time Warner Cable has introduced a new advancement. Caller ID on your T.V. screen. When someone calls, their name and telephone number appear in a small box in the corner of the screen. This feature will be given to you by Time Warner Cable if you have digital phone and digital cable from them. http://www.timewarnercable.com/sanantonio/products/digitalphones/calleridontv.html
