Answers the question
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. The story behind thisinvention, however, began many years earlier.
Bell first worked for his father. He developed a system for teaching deaf people to speak. This system, called Visible Speech, used symbols which showed the position of the throat, tongue, and lips in making sounds.
From this early experience with the study of sound, Bell became interested in the telegraph, a device which sends sounds by an electriccurrent. During one experiment with his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, Bell was adjusting the tone of the telegraph’s steel spring. He heard other sounds coming through the spring. This discovery showed him how the current could transmit the vibrations of a person’s voice.
On March 10, 1876, Bell and Watson were working in separate rooms. Bell spilled some acid on his clothes by accident and said, “Mr.Watson, come here. I want you!” Watson heard the message through the telephone spring and carne immediately. These were the first complete sentences ever transmitted over the telephone.
Within a year the new device was greatly improved. On April 3, 1877, Bell completed the first telephone conversation between Boston and New York, a distance of more than two hundred miles.
Today people almosteverywhere can speak to each other by telephone. There are even car phones and plane phones which transmit sounds through airwaves rather than telephone lines. The telephone has truly become an essential part of everyday life for people ah over the world.
