Alexander Graham Bell received the first patent for a telephone in 1876. He came up with the idea at his summer home in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, but built the first device in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. There are several other competing claims for who should be given credit for inventing the telephone, including Antonio Meucci and Elisha Gray.

The basic principle of the telephone is that the vibrations of sound waves hitting a conductor can cause the electricity passing through the conductor to fluctuate, and those electrical fluctuations can then cause a magnet to recreate the sound waves. If you speak at the first conductor (the microphone), and then pass the electrical fluctuations to a magnet (the speaker) at the other end of a wire, you have a telephone.

Alexander Garnham Bell was in the process of helping deaf people, especially children. He was noted for his efforts. In fact, Helen Keller was quoted claiming Bell as the leader in the research in deafness. His attempt to develop a technological device to aid children that are deaf placed him in the same area of transmitting voice patterns through a wire. However, his success was by accident when he summoned his aide Watson to his office that was rooms away. Once he saw the potential, he sought a patent in 1876 only to find later other parties were attempting to do the same. And, if I'm not mistaken, the date and time on his application were only a few hours ahead of another source(s). Eventually, his device, the telephone, became instrumental in the "same-time" communications and a "need" in commerce. Especially as a result during the industrial era or revolution. Yet, it required phone wires, or cables, to stretch from street poles and the mass manufacture of the equipment needed for Mass Communication. Once that was accomplished, it created the flow of information to its consumers that advanced commerce demands. However, it also became a 'need" for private home use. Of course, this required time to satisfy customer demands. However, such technology was too lucrative to ignore. Soon people gained a phone for home use and became the source of long-range communication across the nation. Mr, Bell saw the implication of his device before he died, but, his main devotion was in teaching deaf children and that was his core interest.

Agreed. And, I think we are seeing today what Bell sought. Now, we have head-phones that vibrate music and dialog on the bones around the ear. This, benefits the deaf.
