95 out of 100 US telephone calls are transported over Fiber Optic cables
and systems.  The following material offers supportive information
to conduct an exciting lesson on how/why our voice is joined with over 
32,000 other conversations as it journeys through a Fiber Optic 
telephone cable!  All concepts are supported by simple classroom 
experiments, including comparison of human hair and optical fiber
under a microscope.  (This experiment is very popular)  Developed by
long-term Telephone Company Engineer D.B.Levels, this material has
