Content: History of Telephone Tuesday
The invention of the telephone goes way back to the 1880’s and is widely understood to have first been invented by Alexander Graham Bell. However, it is said that the telephone had been in development since the 1660’s but there’s no clear indication as to by whom. They weren’t actually called telephones at first. Phones were called Mechanical Acoustic Devices because they simply transmitted voice data instead of audio. The first known conversation on the telephone was between Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant on March 10, 1876. He spoke into a telephone and said ‘‘Mr Watson, come here, I want to see you.’’ The first ever phone users, used to use the same opening to talk and listen, as there was only one wire for receiving and transmitting your voice. Soon, telephone operators were required to assist and to connect more calls. Women became the majority of staff in telephone exchange jobs, as many young men were proving to enjoy pranks too often while connecting calls, and lines were not being connected successfully. In 1982, a man named Almon Brown Stowger who was previously an undertaker, invented an automatic telephone exchange company due to his frustration.
