The document discusses how communication has changed over the past 200 years, from writing letters when people lived far away to the modern telephone. It notes that the telephone was invented in 1855 by Antonio Meucci, an Italian immigrant, though it was wrongly credited to Alexander Graham Bell for many years. However, the U.S. Congress recognized in 2002 that Meucci was the true inventor of the telephone, over 100 years after his death.
