The Telephone By Jenna Williams Who
invented the telephone? In the early 1870s
Alexander Graham Bell had an idea for the
telephone. He was experimenting with electricity.
He believed he could send the human voice over
wires. He got his friend Thomas A. Watson to
help. They spent a long time experimenting. In
1876 they discovered how to do it. People were
amazed by Bells invention. Years later
business people had private lines connecting
their homes and offices. The Bell Telephone
Company was born. Bell predicted that in the
future, wires would connect cities and people
would talk to each other across the country.
Bells prediction was correct. In a few years,
nearby cities were connected by telephone lines.
By 1892, the cities of New York and Chicago were
connected. By 1915 telephone lines stretched
across the country. Nearly 100 years after
Bell invented the telephone, Martin Cooper
invented the cell phone in 1973. Cell phones do
not use wires. They send the sound through the
air. The telephone changed peoples lives.
Today there are different kinds of telephones.
They let us talk to people anywhere. We can use
them almost anytime. What changes to the
telephone will the future bring?
