The invention of telephone Karpyuk p.139
Read and answer the questions.
Dear ‘English Bridge’, I’d like to tell about the invention of telephone.
It was invented by Alexander Bell in 1875. Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
When his family went to America, he was given a teaching position with deaf people and he became interested in speech. His work was financed by the father of one of his pupils.
The story goes that Bell invented the telephone by accident. At that time he was experimenting with the telegraph. He spilled some acid and called his assistant. “Come here, Mr Watson, I want to see you.” Watson was in the other room and he heard Bell through apparatus.
The first telephone exchange which connected 21 people happened in 1878.
The first communication satellite was launched in 1962.
With best regards, Peter
