An Analogy: the Telephone Network


Let's use an analogy: think about the telephone system!
Let's suppose you only know about the copper wire and the telephone.

  • How do you make a communication network?

  • How do you get phone calls in your home?

  • How do you get your neighbour a phone line?

  • How can a company get several different phone calls at the same time?

  • How can you redirect a phone call to a different location?

  • 
    
    Obviously, you need more than copper wires and telephones!

    What else would you need?
    Enter one noun.
