Meet Almon Brown Strowger - the undertaker who accidentally revolutionized telecom! 📞 In 1891, frustrated by losing business to a competitor controlling the local switchboard, he invented the first automatic telephone exchange. His makeshift prototype (made from a collar box and pins!) eliminated human operators forever. Though he sold his patents for just $1,800, his invention later fetched $2.5 million (≈$63M today).
