One of the most important inventions is the invention of the telephone. The idea behind the telephone is simple. a system which changes sound into a series of electrical impulses of differing frequencies (频率), and then reverses this procedure to recreate the sound.

As early as 1831, Mickael Faraday proved that vibrations (震动) of metal could be changed into electrical impulses. This was the basic principle of the telephone, but no one made us of such technology until 1861, when German inventor, Johann Reis, successfully built some equipment that changed sound to electricity and back again. The equipment had built some equipment that changed sound to electricity and back again. The equipment had many flaws, unable to transmit many frequencies and therefore was never fully developed.

Two men in the United States Elisa Gray and Alexander Graham Bell (a Scottish inventor), both worked hard to create what would be known as the telephone almost at the same time, and amazingly both filed for a patent within hours of one another, Bell beating his rival by merely two hours on February 14 th, 1876.

The first comprehensible telephone conversation was said to have taken place between Bell and his assistant, who was sitting in another room. Bell said, “Come here, Watson, I want you”, which Watson successful heard via the receiver and the invention of the telephone was complete. The Bell Telephone Company (AT&T) was soon established and grew to be the largest telephone company in existence.

The following year, in 1877, the first telephone system was put in place in Hartford, Connecticut, while the first exchange linking two cities was established between Boston and New York in 1883. London hosted the first exchange put into practice outside the US in 1879.

The invention of the telephone is a hot topic within the inventor circle. Many believe it to be Alexander Grabam Bell, while others believe it to be Antonio Meucci, Philip Reis, or Elisha Gray.

       c. Alexander Graham Bell invented what is called the telephone.
