was one step closer to making the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell’s motivations were based on his mother and his fascination with transmitting sound over wire. Preparation Alexander was more than prepared to invent the telephone. For example, he got lucky with one of his students, “ One of his pupils, Mabel Hubbard, was the daughter of a
The telephone completely changed how we communicate. Alexander Bell was a professor at Boston University when he built a device that allowed people to see speech in the form of sound-wave vibrations. This made Mr. Bell believe that somehow he could make sound waves turn into an electrical current and back into sound waves. After lots of studying electricity and conducting lots
Impact of Telephone on Society Many inventions revolutionized society and one example is the telephone, which was introduced to society in 1876. The inventor, Alexander Graham Bell developed this idea and the telephone made him famous because communication would never be the same after the development of the telephone. The telephone made an incredible impact on society. The impact could be seen through the quickness of communication, business, easier communication in wars, and some negative effects too.
Bliss introduces her essay with some historical background of Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone to begin with her thoughts of the telephone throughout the essay. Bell’s financial backers advised him not to work on the invention, as it seemed too doubtful,
Alexander Graham Bell (March 3rd – August 2nd, 1922 a Scottish-born scientist) demonstrated the first practical telephone in 1876, when the world was not quite waiting for the telephone and had a hard time accepting the invention. Biss opens the essay with a quote “Of what use is such an invention?”, line 1. The quote appeared in The New York World, shortly after the presentation of Bell´s telephone. In this part, Biss seems ironic, as she has chosen to use that exact quote in an essay published in 2008. There is no doubt; The telephone had already made a great impact on us back in 2008 and most of us probably think of it as a tool we cannot live without. A telephone has become a matter of course in any household throughout most of the world and we definitely find the telephone of great use. In the 1870´s, people did not really understand the purpose of the telephone and even the idea of a national telephone network seemed useless, line 5-8. People were not informed about the benefits of having a
After working for his dad for a while Bell meet someone by the name of Thomas Watson, and they soon became partners. They worked on a design of the “first practical telephone.” “On March 10, 1876, Bell and Watson were successful.” After the long hard days of working on the design they had done it. They had made the first telephone. That was one of the biggest impacts on the world anybody could have ever done. People saw how smart Alexander Graham Bell was by making all of these inventions. They also saw what a great man he
House of Representatives credited Antonio Meucci with his contribution to making the telephone. Five years before Alexander Graham Bell got his telephone patented in eighteen seventy-one Meucci invented the telephone and patented it. He could not pay to refresh the patent so Alexander could patent his telephone. After that Meucci sued Alexander saying that he stole his idea. He didn’t win the case because he died before it was over and Alexander kept the patent. Another thing that he invented was the metal detector and he used it to try and save President James Garfield in eighteen eighty-one after he got shot in an assassination. Sadly he could not save his life and the President died. Alexander Graham Bell also experimented with kites and flying machines throughout his life. Alexander got ten thousand dollars for winning France’s Volta Prize. Alexander later used that money to make the Volta Laboratory in Washington D.C. One of the first things that Alexander invented after the telephone was the photophone. Alexander used the photophone to send a message over two hundred yards to another building. Alexander said that the photophone was the greatest invention that he ever made, and it was even better than the telephone. He also worked with genetic engineering and tried to make sheep have twins and triplets more often. The year that Alexander tried to save President Garfield, his newborn son died as a result of respiratory problems. After that
Bell gets a lot of the credit for inventing the telephone but there are also a bunch of other people that contributed to the process of inventing it. Graham Bell was the first to patent the invention of the telephone though. It as a very confusing thing to deal with. It was a confusing collection of counterclaims and claims. It was made even more confusing with the lawsuit trying to resolve the patent claims of many individuals.
Because they realized the significance of Bell’s ideas, Alexander Bell’s investors filed a patent on his idea. Now no one could steal Bell’s idea because it was copyrighted and protected. On March 10, 1876, only two years after Bell and Watson became a duo and started working on the transferring voice device, Bell and Watson had successfully achieved their goal in creating a voice transferring device. However, this was achieved by accident. Bell clumsily knocked over a container that contained transmitting fluid, and spilled it all over his wires. He heard the box that the wires were attached to making noises and shouted for Watson to come in the room. Watson was in the other room when the accident had occurred and when Bell had yelled for him to come see, Watson heard Bell through the box that his wires were attached to. Thus, Watson received the very first telephone call from
First of all, the telephone has a long history of impacting society from 1876 to 2017. The telephone began from Alexander Graham Bell it was the bell telephone. Telephones began as large, clunky devices capable of transmitting, and receiving voice messages over short distances. The telephone evolved into lighter transportable cellular devices capable of enabling communications over large distances. Today’s mobile phones would be a dream to the 1900s.
Cellphones are a way communicating with someone that is not near you. Cellphone have been around for about for 40 years, and before cellphone there was the telephones. Telephones have been around for more than 100 years. Telephones was usually kept in the house and shared with the members in
Alexander Graham Bell The aim of this research paper is to give the history of Alexander Graham Bell, centering on his life, education, and the invention of the telephone.
In today’s competitive and fast-paced business environment, change is the only constant and it happens quickly. Change can be strategic, structural or cultural but it is always essential. It is inevitable; it is a way of life and can be as simple as a process change or as
Early in 1874 Bell met Thomas A. Watson, a young machinist at a Boston electrical shop. Watson became Bell’s indispensable assistant, bringing to Bell’s experiments the crucial ingredient that had been lacking, his technical expertise in electrical engineering. Together the two men spent endless hours experimenting (Paschoff 43,44). Although Bell formed the basic concept of the telephone using a varying but unbroken electric current to transmit the varying sound waves of human speech, in the summer of 1874, Hubbard insisted that the young inventor focus his efforts on the harmonic telegraph instead. Bell wanted to continue his work on the telephone but he complied. When he patented one of his telegraph designs in February 1875, he found that Elisha Gray had patented a multiple telegraph two days earlier. Greatly discouraged, Bell consulted in Washington with the elderly Joseph Henry, who urged Bell to pursue his “germ of a great invention” speech transmission (Grosvenor and Wesson 55).
1. INTRODUCTION : There is no doubt, that with the invention of the telephone, telecommunication has become one of the essential innovations of human being since the 19th century, and at the present time, companies which support worldwide dialogue as premier leaders are the celluler phone manufacturers.
