On March 10, 1876, in Boston, Massachusetts, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Thomas Watson fashioned the device itself; a crude thing made of a wooden stand, a funnel, a cup of acid, and some copper wire. But these simple parts and the equally simple first telephone call — "Mr. Watson, come here, I want you!" — belie a complicated past. Bell filed his application just hours before his competitor, Elisha Gray, filed notice to soon patent a telephone himself. What’s more, though neither man had actually built a working telephone, Bell made his telephone operate three weeks later using ideas outlined in Gray’s Notice of Invention, methods Bell did not propose in his own patent.
Telephone history begins at the start of human history. Man has always wanted to communicate from afar. People have used smoke signals, mirrors, jungle drums, carrier pigeons and semaphores to get a message from one point to another. But a phone was something new. Some say Francis Bacon predicted the telephone in 1627, however, his book New Utopia only described a long speaking tube. A real telephone could not be invented until the electrical age began. And even then it didn’t seem desirable. The electrical principles needed to build a telephone were known in 1831 but it wasn’t until 1854 that Bourseul suggested transmitting speech electrically. And it wasn’t until 22 years later in 1876 that the idea became a reality. But before then, a telephone might have been impossible to form in one’s consciousness.
