Answer Question

Content: 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. To facilitate verbal communication over long distances. In 2002, the US Congress recognized Antonio Meucci as the inventor of the telephone and not Alexander Graham Bell. Bell found fortune and fame by stealing another man's work. He had access to Meucci's materials and took out a patent 16 years after Meucci demonstrated his invention. Meucci could not afford the $250 needed for a definitive patent for his "talking telegraph" so in 1871 filed a one-year renewable notice of an impending patent.
