The word "hello" is perhaps used more often than any other word in the English language. Everybody in the United States uses this word again and again every day and everywhere. You pick up the phone and the first word you hear is "Hello!" You meet a friend in the street and the first word you say is "Hello!"
Where did the word come from? The American inventor Thomas Edison was the first person to use "hello" in the late eighteenth century after the invention of the telephone. At first people greeted each other on the phone "Are you there?" They were not sure the new thing could really carry voices. But Thomas Edison never wasted time. The first time he picked up the phone, he didn't ask if anyone was in. He was sure someone was there and listening to him, so he said, "Hello!" From then on, the word "hello" became widely used in America.
