But could Alexander Graham Bell text?

Today is the anniversary of Alexander Graham Bell's famous "Mr. Watson, come here; I need you." And telephony was born.

Nowadays, Bell would simply text Watson because that's how the technology has evolved.

And that raises a potentially fun opportunity: Identify the best texter in your organization, i.e., fastest and most accurate. Try a two-tiered approach. First ask people to text Bell's famous phrase - the game might as well have an historical perspective. Then have them text a really long word, such as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Cheers, applause, huzzahs for all participants with extra brouhaha for the winner(s).
