The invention of the telephone was done
by a group of individuals, many different
companies. However, it is believed that the
telephone was invented by Alexander
Graham Bell in 1875 with the help of his
friend Thomas A. Edison.

Bell and Watson created a device that uses vibration to

produce and receive sound waves through electrical
signals. In June 1876, Bell traveled to the Philadelphia
Centennial Exposition (the first World's Fair in the
United States) to demonstrate this device to an
international audience.

Department of Defense, the ARPANET was finally developed. It
began to function on November 21, 1969 between the universities
