Answer Question

Content: 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. He discovered the possibility of the telephone by mistake. Bell was working in his office, most likely with electrical wires, with his helper working in the office next to him. He happened to hear or notice the vibration of his helper's voice waves from the wires he was working on and that was the birth of the idea for the telephone. Bell did not invent the telephone. It was invented by Elisha Grey, Bell was just the first to submit his "invention" for a patent.
