LAURA  CARRASCO  PALMA  1ºB  

❑ 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.  

HOW  IT  ALL  BEGAN?  

❑ 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:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYCouRGXBWw  

❑ 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.  

Alexander  Graham  Bell  

❑ 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.  

❑ 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  ��of  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  ��its  appearance.  The  numbers  from  0  to  9  are  used  to  dial  the  number  of  the  party  without  having  to  go  through  an  intermediary.    

❑ 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.  

❑ 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.    

❑ 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.  

❑ 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.  ◆ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN__D5ixme0  

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.
