Alexander Graham Bell is considered the inventor of the telephone. He was inspired by an accident to develop a device for transmitting voice over wires. Bell patented the first practical telephone on March 7, 1876. He made the first telephone call later that year between himself and his assistant Thomas Watson. The telephone evolved rapidly from its initial invention due to its necessity for communication. Modern cell phones provide wireless communication capabilities along with additional features like cameras, internet access and apps. Future phones are predicted to have transformable designs and serve as remote controls for various connected devices and services.

2. HOW
IT
ALL
BEGAN?
❑ The
first
telephone
was
invented
by
Alexander
Graham
Bell.
It
was
an
idea
that
he
got
because
of
an
accident.
❑ He
was
not
the
only
person
who
tried
to
invent
it,
but
the
only
one
who
managed
to
use
it
as
useful
inven=on.
❑ Bell’s
invention
came
out
as
an
improvement
of
the
telegraph;
he
wanted
to
improve
the
efficiency
of
sending
messages,
that
was
how
the
idea
of
the
telephone
appeared.The
birth
of
the
telephone
was
the
loss
of
the
telegraph.

3. ❑ Bell
patented
the
first
electric
telephone
on
March
7th,1876.
❑ The
first
telephone
call
was
made
in
1876,
between
Alexander
Graham
Bell
and
Thomas
Watson.
The
first
words
ever
heard
on
a
telephone
were:
“Mr
Watson,
Come
here,
I
want
to
hear
you”
It
was
made
by
them.
❑ The
first
transcontinental
call
was
made
between
San
Francisco,
and
New
York:

4. Alexander
Graham
Bell
❑ Alexander
Graham
Bell
was
born
on
March
3rd,
1847,
in
Edinburgh,
hIps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKQwih1uLdk
❑ His
educa=on
was
largely
received
through
numerous
experiments
in
sounds
and
the
furthering
of
his
father’s
work
on
Visible
Speech
for
the
deaf.
Bell
worked
with
Thomas
Watson
on
the
design
and
patent
of
the
first
prac=cal
telephone.
❑ He
died
on
August
2nd,
1922,
in
Cape
Breton
Island,
Nova
Sco=a,
Canada.
❑ Bell
was
one
of
the
primary
inventors
of
the
telephone.
He
did
important
work
in
communica<on
for
the
deaf
people
and
held
more
than
18
patents.

5. ❑ The
evolution
continued.
It
was
rapid
because
this
type
of
communication
was
rapidly
a
necessity.
Bell’s
patent
was
the
key
of
the
technological
advancements.
❑
These
early
phones
were
obviously
made
YYof
wood
and
metal.
Both
ear
buds
intended
to
place
on
the
ears.
They
used
not
to
be
bothered
by
outside
noise.
❑
A
few
years
later,
the
phone
supported
a
more
modern
form:
the
receiver
and
microphone
were
connected
to
the
handset
❑ After
the
rotary
phone
made
YY
its
appearance.
The
numbers
from
0
to
9
are
used
to
dial
the
number
of
the
party
without
having
to
go
through
an
intermediary.

6. ❑ The
development
of
the
telephone
took
place
in
the
1990s
with
the
advent
of
wireless
phone.
The
cell
phone
had
been
the
subject
of
prototypes
in
the
1970s.
❑ Other
manufacturers
were
originally
important
innovations
in
the
early
2000s,
including
Bluetooth,
camera,
the
emergence
of
games,
music
player,
radio,
internet
browser
and
touch.
The
design
became
dominant
in
each
of
the
manufacturers.

7. ❑ Thomas
A.
Edison,
Elisha
Gray
and
Edward
Hughes
are
linked
to
the
development
of
the
telephone.
❑ I
In
the
XX
century,
Antonio
Meucci
havve
been
recognized
by
the
U.S.
House
of
Representatives
for
his
contributory
work
on
the
telephone,
instead
of
Bell.
Meucci
could
not
published
him
invention,
because
of
his
economic
crisis.

8. ❑ People
started
to
use
cell
phones,
that
looked
really
fancy.
They
used
to
have
cameras,
Bluetooth,
some
of
them
with
wireless
connection,
and
a
keyboard.
You
can
communicate
with
all
people
you
want,
by
texting
or
calling.
People
also
have
wireless
telephones
in
their
homes.
❑ Nowadays,
phones
change
completely
too
fast.
There
are
people
who
still
use
old-­‐fashionable
telephones,
but
most
of
them
not.
Since
the
birth
of
some
companies
such
as
Android
or
Apple
(IPhones
were
born
on
june
29,
2007)
which
are
the
most
popular,
cell
phones
are
evaluated.
❑ People
have
internet
access
(3G,
and
4G)
where
ever
they
want,
touch
screen,
voice
messages,
download
a
lot
of
applications
such
as
facebook,
instagram,
snapchat,
whatsapp
to
keep
in
touch
with
people
over
the
world.

10. ❑ The
mobile
phone
is
the
result
of
different
technologies
that
already
exist,
mostly
in
the
1940s
and
its
invention
is
attributed
to
Dr.
Martin
Cooper
of
Motorola.
❑ In
spite
of
the
fact
that
nowadays
we
have
an
amazing
improvement
with
cell
phones,
we
are
expecting
to
have
more
innovations.
The
future:
◆ Future
phones
are
being
touted
as
the
ultimate
multifunctional
devices.
Some
experts
predict
that
the
mobiles
of
the
future
will
become
remote
controls
for
our
whole
lives.

11. Nokia
has
presented
their
vision
for
the
future
of
mobile
phones
with
The
Morph
phone,
which
it
claims
will
"transform
the
user's
experience".
❑ Designed
by
Tapani
Tyhanen,
The
Morph
suggests
that
phones
of
the
future
will
involve
transparency
and
transformability.
It’smeans
future
mobile
phones
may
be
bendy
and
come
in
many
shapes
and
forms.
