Date rape is a serious issue, and it affects people of all ages and both
genders. For the past couple of decades, women have been warned about
the risks of leaving their drinks unattended at parties and bars. The
result of not closely guarding a drink could be an unpleasant drug trip,
and undesired sexual relations. While women can of course try and keep
an eye on their beverages, those that really want to find a way to slip a
date rape drug into a drink have developed sneaky ways of accomplishing
their mission. It is for this reason that DrinkSavy has chosen to focus
on creating products that help men and women alike detect date rape
drugs in their drinks.

Alexander Graham Bell is one inventor whose impact is still felt to this day as the invention of the telephone made it possible to communicate with people around the world instantly by using our voices. Nowadays, cell phones are used as more than just a mobile telephone as we can communicate with others in a number of ways, but without the telephone, who knows how the cellular phone and smartphones would have shaped up to be. So when we heard you can now listen to what Bell may have sounded like when he made his historic first call, we let our ears enjoy the sweet sounds of the 19th century immediately.
Researchers have been able to use 3D scanning in order to read recordings from old wax cylinders, which Bell used in a number of instances. The results of which found a recording from 1885 that contains his voice where we can hear him say, “Hear my voice – Alexander Graham Bell.” Sure – it isn’t an impressive message, but when you realize you’re hearing the voice of the inventor of the telephone back when it was recorded in 1885, then we defy you to not have your mind completely blown.
