Who invited the Telephone?

A telephone is a device that permitits two or more user to conduct a conversation when they are not in the same vicinity of each other to be heard directly. A telephone converts the human voice, into electronic signals via cables or other transmisión media over long distances, and replays such signals simultaneaisly in audible form to its user.

 

Alexander Graham Bell was an influential scientist, engineer and inventor. He was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He died on August 2, 1922 at the age of 75.

 

He is widely cuedited with the invention of the first practical telephone. Bell’s mother and wife were both deaf, this had a major influence on his work.

 

Bell became an excellent piano player at a young age. When he was 23, Bell and his parents moved to Canada.

 

Bell studied the human óbice and worked with various schools for the deaf. He experimented with sound, working with devices such as a “harmonic telegraph” (used to send múltiple messages over a single wire). He worked on acoustic telegraphy with his assistant, on electrical designer named Tomas Watson.

 

On february 14, 1876 Bell and an American electrical engineer named Elisha Gray both filed patents with the U.S. Patent Office covering the transmisión of sounds telegraphically. There is debate about who got there first, but the patent was awarded and were along the lines of “Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you”.

 

Bell improved on the design and by 1886 more than 150.000 people owned telephones in the United States.
