What would have happened if Alexander Graham Bell had never invented the telephone?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, if Alexander Graham Bell hadn't invented the telephone, we'd probably still be using carrier pigeons to send messages. Like, imagine trying to fit a pigeon in your pocket to make a quick call. It would be a real "tweet" storm trying to communicate without phones, but hey, at least we'd have some extra feathered friends around.

Answer 2

If Bell had not invented the telephone, someone else undoubtedly would have. There is a story that Bell got the patent because he got his application to the patent office a few hours ahead of another person, Elisha Gray, with the same invention.
