History of the Telephone
Today, we take telephones for granted. You probably have a telephone within arm’s reach as you read this. But just over 100 years ago, the idea of instantly chatting to someone anywhere in the world seemed impossible. How did someone figure out the technology that makes the telephone possible? Where could telephones take us in the future? Today, we’re going to explain the history of the telephone. Early Telephones
You may already know that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in the 1880s. But Bell didn’t invent this device out of thin air: early telephones had started being developed as early as the 1660s. Yes, these telephones were incredibly primitive compared to Bell’s telephone, but they still deserve to be mentioned.
