The telephone has evolved quite a bit since the big debut. Today’s modern youth can’t even identify most fixed-line devices from only a few decades ago. We’ve come such a long way with phones and often we take today’s advanced smart devices for granted. Our iPhones and Androids provide us with so many options, apps, and resources. And, all of it is available to us with just a tap of the screen. The history of the telephone is complex, enchanting and riddled with controversies. To better understand just how far we’ve come, let’s take a moment to look back at how the telephone was invented, how it became ubiquitous in the world today, and how it evolved into the smartphones we’ve all become accustomed to in our daily lives. As far back as the 1660s, telephone-resembling devices were being tested and developed by inventors. Mechanical acoustic devices used pipes and other materials to mechanically transmit music and speech over short distances.
