It is amazing to see how far humans have come since then. A lot of it is credited to a few key people and inventions from the early 1800s. The first of these inventions is the steam locomotive. This may have been the most defining and important invention during this era. It started to connect the otherwise…

invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1874-1876. But the very first person to be able to convey sounds over a taut extended wire by mechanical vibrations was Robert Hooke in 1667 so it’s the culmination of work done by many individuals until Alexander Graham Bell created a telephone. The earlier development is when sound waves are carried as mechanical vibrations along the string or wire from one diaphragm to the other. A very good example is the tin can telephone. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell…

scientific method was used by the developer(s) of the device, supporting explanation with research) Scientific processes that lead to the development of the cell phone are as follows. Observation and measurements: 3 The telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Hypothesis: Could voice be transmitted via radio waves and be utilized via a mobile device? Experiments: Reginald Fessenden…

do if we use our thoughts in the right way. For example, what if Benjamin Franklin hadn’t acted upon his thought of attaching a key to a silk ribbon in a thunderstorm? That great thought led to the invention of electricity. Or, what if Alexander Graham Bell didn’t act on the thought of experimenting with primitive sound transmitters and receivers that led to the creation of the telephone? We would all still be in the dark sending smoke signals. These two great men did not let fear or doubt…

The years after the American Civil War have been characterized by Mark Twain and others as “The Gilded Age”.
