The straightest answer to the literal form of this question would be 'Because we could'. From the Latin 'tele' (at a distance) and 'phon' (sound), we might deduct that someone thought it might be a good idea to either hear sounds at a distance, or to make someone at a distance hear a sound they made. 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.
