Answer Question

Content: Not merely sounds, but speech... To talk to someone at a distance. Conveying a message over great distances has always been of interest to anyone controlling an army or anyone else wanting to know what was going on somewhere else. Of course, these days, it's hard to imagine a time when we could concentrate on something or simply 'chill' without being interrupted by some idiot trying to sell us something on the phone, or drive along a highway without some glassy-eyed soccer mom weaving in and out of traffic while babbling mindlessly on a cellphone. Waaay back there, though, there was a time when a telephone call was important. This depends a lot on who you credit for the invention of the telephone. It is my personal belief that the telephone was first invented by Antonio Meucci somewhat serendipitously; Meucci worked in an electroplating workshop and experimented with the use of electro shock therapy in treating headaches, legend has it that during a treatment he heard the patients screams transmitted along the copper wires. Mrs. Bell was deaf and Mr. Bell was allways 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.
