Who invented the telephone?

#history The inventor of the telephone is Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. He was a British scientist who patented the invention of the telephone on January 14, 1876, in New York (United States of America).


Not without great controversy, since that day two men, Graham Bell and Elias Gray, appeared at the New York Patent Office to register an unprecedented and unusual invention: the telephone under patent number US178399A.

But Bell arrived at twelve noon and Gray two hours later. That difference consecrated the young Scot, Bell, as the father of the telephone, the most important invention of his time.

This invention used electricity to talk remotely, and start a telephone network.

The fact of dialing a few numbers can put people who are very physically distant in verbal contact. Bell and Gray fought for ten years, but in the end the verdict favored Bell, who soon became a millionaire thanks to this revolutionary and novel invention.
