Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which writer was one of the first people in the world to have a telephone installed in his home?"
...Mark Twain was an enthusiastic early adopter of new technology, embracing the telephone almost as soon as Alexander Graham Bell introduced it. By the late 1870s, he had one of the first residential telephones installed in his Hartford, Connecticut home—long before most Americans had ever even seen one. Although he complained humorously about the line’s terrible sound quality, Twain loved gadgets, even holding several patents of his own. He was a close friend of inventor Nikola Tesla and one of the first writers to use a typewriter for his work.
