The telephone was needed to communicate with others at important times and at long distances quickly and cheaply. It also was used to talk with friends or family more often. The late 1800’s needed this invention because it was hard to get messages around the world so quickly before it. You also couldn’t see the faces of the person you were talking to, this was made possible after changes were made. There were many problems that came up though. A problem was that Bell made a telephone company (AT&T) and bought out all the other rising telephone companies. Doing this almost gave him a monopoly but got regulated by the government. Telephone poles and microwaves were a problem as well. Telephones looked very ugly in big cities but there were a lot of them and microwaves could damage brain cells. Lastly, people worried about others listening into their conversations.

There are many changes with the telephone. It became smaller, thinner, and wireless. This helped make the telephone easy to carry around because the original size was: 6 1/4 in x 7 1/2 in x 12 1/2 in (15.875 cm x 19.05 cm x 31.75 cm) which was large and not easy to carry around. It also wasn’t wireless which made it unportable. They also added a camera. This helped people take pictures easier and faster because you didn’t need to bring an actual bulky camera around anymore. Lastly, the telephone became able to access the internet and had touchscreen. It could access the internet because the 21st century needs the internet and having a screen that can sense touch made doings the tasks and accessing things more convenient, the screen showed the faces of the person you’re talking to also. This changes with the centuries because I would think that our generation is a lot less patient than in the 19th and 20th century, we’ve grown to be addicted to the internet and pictures, and love carrying everything
