Obviously, the telephone has changed society after its invention. However, it has definitely come a long way from its beginning, when Alexander Graham Bell communicated for the first time on the first one. Now, we have cellphones, cordless phones, and payphones. If we did not have telephones today, then communication that was quick and reliable would be difficult over long distances. Since phones are more common than computers, people would probably buy more computers to communicate through email instead. Or, people might find other ways of communicating over distances -- something similar to a phone, perhaps. Businesses would be affected by a lack of quick communication, however. If we still had to rely on mail sent through the postal service, then no one would know what was going on in other places in the world until months after it happened. We probably wouldn't be able to wage wars in different countries well, and any attack on our country would be met with slow relief. National disasters would also not get quick aid (although our country is already like that...Katrina).
cuz yay
The telephone
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, though he died in 1922. Everyone loved him and we're still using his invention today!
the telegraph went through many stages before becoming known as the telephone.
edwin drakes invention affects us today because now it is a lot easier for people to drill oil because of his invention the oil derrick. His new methods for an oil well also affects us today because drillers all over the world use his method and use his oild derrick.
The telegraph was the first invention that allowed people to communicate rapidly at great distances. Today, we can communicate much better by telephone, or by email, etc., but when the telegraph was invented there were no phones or other such inventions.
Alexander Graham Bell was famous in his time, and still today, for his invention of the telephone. He also founded the Bell Telephone Company, which later became known as the current company AT&T.
Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone revolutionized communication by allowing people to speak to each other over long distances in real-time. This changed the way people greeted each other over the phone by introducing the familiar "Hello" as a standard greeting, which Bell himself suggested. This simple greeting became widely adopted and remains a common way to answer the phone today.
A noteworthy event for today, March 23rd in history was the invention of the Dixie cup in 1912.
When it was first invented the phone was wanted everywhere. Today also phones are in even more demand. But some people do not like the invention of the phone because it uses electricity and pollutes the earth's atmosphere. But still the phone is a useful tool as long as it is not overused.
The wheel was a large invention throughout history. This is because it allowed Mesopotamian people to make carts to move food, carriages to carry people and led to other inventions.
Alexander Graham Bell improved the world by helping people communicate from far distances. Later on in time people improved the telephone. So next time you use the phone think about Alexander Graham Bell and how he became so successful.
