Onset of Communication

So many years ago, there has always been a need for others to interact with each other. Then came the idea of communication.

How do I have to ask for help from a friend?

How do I reach out to my loved ones at distant places?

All these and lots more are questions, arising as people grew older, and the need for communication became the essence.

In the olden days, traditional methods of communication were very random, some of which were

• Talking drums

• Gongs

• Fireworks

• Town criers.

As development started setting in,

• Letters and postcards came into use.

Sometimes, I just look around and see how far technology has come, and the need for communication, especially during the covid days. And I've come to appreciate the man who invented Telephones.

You could all call in Android, iPhones, or mobile phones. Whatever it is, everything started from him.

Alexander Graham Bell, best known for the invention of the telephone, which is widely in use now, and communication systems too as we all know. His interest in sound technology was so rooted, extreme, and personal. Sadly, both his wife and mother were deaf, just as history made mention of. There’s some controversy over whether Bell was the true founder of the telephone, or not. He actually secured real rights to the technology and launched the Bell Telephone Company in the year 1877. This very talented man and scientist held over 18 patents in respect of his inventions and work in the communication sector.

The invention of the great mobile.

• In 1871, the scientist started working on the harmonic telegraph. This was a device that allowed so many multiple messages to be transmitted over a wire at the same time of transmission. While he was still trying to perfect this particular tech, which was backed by a group of investors, he became occupied with finding a way to transmit the human voice over wires.

Great!

• By 1875, Alex Bell, with the great help of his science discovery partner Thomas Watson, came up with a simple receiver that could turn electricity into sound waves.

Many other scientists, which included Elisha Gray, and Antonio Meucci were working on other synonymous technologies, and there was some debate over who should be credited with the invention of the telephone. It was recorded that the great scientist Alexander Bell, raced to the patent office to be the first to secure the rights to the discovery. Brave right?

Thank you so much for your sponsorship. lt means a lot to me. I love you specaially 

• On March 7, in the year 1876, Bell was granted his telephone patent. Days later, he executed the first-ever telephone call to Watson, allegedly saying the now-famous phrase, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.”

• By 1877, the Telephone Company, which is known today as AT&T., was created.

In 1915, Alex made the first transcontinental phone call to Watson from New York to San Francisco.

And that was how telephones came into existence, with Alexander bell executing the first call.

The man is a genius.

Imagine Earth without a phone, no Facebook, no internet, no way of communicating with everyone all over the world, no read.cash

Just imagine you, not being able to read all my Articles.

It would be very pathetic I bet.

Sometimes, we should take out time to celebrate these great historic men of wisdom and valor.

They made life so easy for us.

Communication is the foundation of every friendship, without it, there isn't any relationship.

Alexander Graham bell made it possible.

Rest on Genius.

We celebrate him today and always.

Thanks for the propagation of communication all around the world, Bell.

so friends hope you learned something today, And happy Anniversary to read.cash
