Why did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone?

Answer 1

• Mrs. Bell was deaf and Mr. Bell was always trying to help those who could not hear. The telephone was one of his attempts to create a device for the deaf, to assist their ability to hear.
• Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone so that people can communicate with other people anywhere in world.
• To facilitate verbal communication over long distances.
• He invented the telephone because he is an inventor and he wanted to find a way how to communicate with other people apart from talking to them face-to-face.
• Previous communication technology was limited to the telegraph. The telegraph was inefficient because it relied on Morse Code to relay messages. Only a few trained professionals were taught Morse Code, and not everybody could translate with it. Whereas a telephone would allow people to speak directly to one another without a step in-between. Bell sought to solve this problem.
• There is a report that says that Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone to help his few family members as they suffered from hearing problems. But at the same time his father in law did not agree with it. He said it was a toy, that no child would be interested in.
• He decided to invent it because he was inspired to create the telephone, although his version didn't work and someone else's did. Thing is is that he patented it first. But he didn't actually make a fully functional one.

Bell wanted a better method of communication to beat the telegraph that was the modern mode of talking great distances in the 19th century. He, and his assistant Thomas A. Watson, worked very hard to perfect a new method in sound waves that would becoming the centre force of communication of all time! In 1874 in Boston, they had done it and the telephone was born. However, due to high expense and favoritism of the telegraph it wasn't until the 1920s that it began to be in full use.
