Fun facts about telephone


 The telephone is one of the most important inventions in the world. Since it was
patented and introduced to the public in June 1876, it has become the world’s most
used device.
 The first working telephone was created by Johan Philipp Reis in 1861. Bell
improved on Reis’ design and later patented it.
 Hello is the common greeting we use when picking up the phone, but it wasn’t always
that way. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, suggested using
“ahoy” when answering the phone. It was Thomas Edison who suggested using
“hello.” These truths may sound simple, but they still count as a worthy element on
telephone invention facts.
 The term telephone comes from the Greek words “tele”, which means far or
distant, and “phone”, which means voice. Literally, the name of the device means
distant voice.
 The invention of the telephone was likely inspired by its predecessor, the
telegraph. Telegraphs transmitted written messages to distant locations. This process
was refined further using the human voice.
