While-Listening Activity.
According to legend, the invention of
the telephone was really an accident. In the 1870s, Alexander Graham Bell was
trying to discover how to send more than one message at a time over a telegraph
wire. In the process, he realized that he could use an electrical wire to send
the sound of the human voice from one place to another. After he had done some
final tinkering, Bell filed a patent for his “electrical speech machine” at the
national office near Washington, D.C
The earliest telephones were large
boxes that attached to the wall. It was impossible to make calls through them
without speaking to an operator first. In the early 1900s, a new type of
telephone became available.
Touch-tone phones first became
available in 1963, but they were not common in households and businesses until
the 1980s. These telephones were expensive to manufacture early on, and this
meant that they were also expensive for the public to buy. In fact, telephone
companies only made a small number of touch-tone phones at first because they
did not think that most people would want to pay such high prices for
them.
The first cellular phones appeared in
the early 1980s, but they were so bulky that most people either carried them in
their briefcases or kept them in their cars. Early cell phone users did not
think of their telephones in the same way that today’s cell phone users do. At
first, people mostly used their cell phones for business or emergency calls.
Now, cell phones are even more
advanced. Many people own cellular phones that allow them to connect to the
Internet, check and write emails, find directions to places, and scan their
tickets for concerts and sporting events. Younger students can play educational
games on these types of phones, and high school and college students can use
them to do quick research. Some people even download programs that allow them
to start their cars and open their garage doors from their phones! Phones that can
do all of these helpful things are known as “smartphones.”
