The first telephone was invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell. That is 138 years ago! The devices were able to transmit speech and sound between distances.
The earliest telephones had a mounted mouth piece and a ear piece that was held. To dial phone numbers people had to turn the dial to a number, wait for it to return to the start then turn again to the next number!
From then the phone has developed so much! The first cordless phone was invented in 1965. Nearly 50 years ago! Today telephones have digital screens, caller I.D so we know who is calling and so many more features.
