A belated happy birthday to this man who has brought millions a way to have order and intercommunication in a small building community. He has made waiting in lines and asking for medical services while on bed worthwhile.

So, he’s 81 years old by now. Hooray to the man and his contribution! The pager might be taking the backseat now, giving way to new innovations, but the paging system will continually be used in industries. Even if paging system concept is changed and optimized for the better, it wouldn’t take away the fact that he was the first to originate the idea.
