Change of Communication

On March 10 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call which was to his assistant in the next room. The call went like this:

“Mr Watson, come here, I want to see you.”

Scottish born Bell, became an expert in sound and public speaking. Due to his understanding of sound and how it works, he taught deaf people and then went on to invent the telephone.

He wrote a letter to his dad about how he wanted the future of sound and communication to be like. He said he imagined a future where “friends converse without leaving home.”

This then led to him inventing the photophone in 1880.

The fist phone call had become so well known that he repeated it in 1915 when telephone lines were connected from East to West coasts in America.

Bell has caused such worldwide and technological discoveries. His knowledge in sound has led to things like iPhones and computers. This then led to emails and Facebook and Twitter which is another way to communicate to others.

Bell has changed the way we communicate.
