Bell speaking into prototype model of the telephone

Invention of the telephone
The modern telephone is the culmination of work done by many individuals, all worthy of recognition for their contributions to the field. Alexander Graham Bell was the first to patent the telephone, an “apparatus for transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically”, after experimenting with many primitive sound transmitters and receivers. However, the history of the invention of the telephone is a confusing collection of claims and counterclaims, made no less confusing by the many lawsuits which attempted to resolve the patent claims of several individuals.
Non-electric “telephones”
According to a letter in the Peking Gazette, in 1968, the Chinese inventor Kung-Foo-Whing invented a speech transmitting device, which probably transported the speech through pipes. Speaking tubes remained common and can still be found today.The string or “lover’s”telephone has also been known for centuries. Comprising two diaphragms connected by a taut string or wire, sound waves are carried as vibrations along the string or wire from one diaphragm to the other. The classic example is the tin can telephone, a children’s toy made by connecting the two ends of a string to the bottoms of two metal cans, paper cups or similar items.
Electro-magnetic transmitters and receivers
An early version of the telephone was invented around 1860 by Antonio Meucci who called it teletrofono (telectrophone).The first American demonstration of Meucci’s invention took place in Staten Island, New York in 1854. In 1860, a description of it was published in New York’s Italian language newspaper. Meucci invented a paired electro-magnetic transmitter and receiver, where the motion of a diaphragm modulated a signal in a coil by moving an electromagnet. This resulted in a good fidelity, but a very weak signal. Meucci is also credited with the early invention of inductive loading of telephone wires to increase long-distance signals. Unfortunately, serious burns, lack of English, and poor business abilities resulted in Meucci failing to develop his inventions commercially in America. Meucci demonstrated some sort of instrument in 1849 in Havana, Cuba, but the evidence is unclear if this was an electric telephone or a variant on the string telephone using wires.Western Union laboratory reportedly lost Meucci’s working models, and Meucci, who at this point was living on public assistance, was unable to renew the patent after 1874.
In March 1876 Alexander Graham Bell, who conducted experiments in the same laboratory where Meucci’s materials had been stored, was granted a patent and was thereafter credited with inventing the telephone.
Meucci was recognized as the first inventor of the telephone by the United States House of Representatives in House Resolution 269 dated 11 June 2002. The resolution states that “if Meucci had been able to pay the $10 fee to maintain the caveat after 1874, no patent could have been issued to Bell.” However, this declaration is non-binding and has no legal effect.

Advantages Disadvantages
The telephone is useful in an emergency. There is something important about being together and sharing life that cannot be found over a telephone wire.
The telephone is convenient for communication. The telephone wastes one’s precious time.

It is nearly always given greater importance than a face to face conversation. Using the mobile phone for text messages is the worst.
It helps the elderly to get in touch with their friends. People use the phone while they are driving, and this can cause problems.
