Content: some people still believe that it was Elisha Gray who had actually developed the concept and design. According to historical evidence, it is said that there was a difference of only a few hours between the two applying for a patent for the telephone. So, was Bell inspired by Gray’s ideas or vice versa? No one knows for sure. As Alexander Graham Bell filed his patent first, he has been commonly credited with the invention. Alexander Graham Bell was decorated with several awards and honorary degrees in his lifetime for his remarkable feat. The most ironic thing about Bell’s life is that although he invented the telephone, he never used it as he considered it as an intrusion in his work. Later in his life, Bell also made notable contributions to the fields of aeronautics and hydrofoils. Would you like to write for us? Well, we're looking for good writers who want to spread the word.
