The telephone




My invention I chose was about the telephone and it was invented by Antonio Meucci. The telephone is used to talk to another person through the telephone. Obviously the other person you talk to has to talk through the telephone as well. The useful thing about the telephone is that you can be far away of the person you are talking to. The first telephone was very big and awkward, but that has been changing trough the years and now the telephones are wireless, that means you can walk with your telephone and talk with your partner.
The telphone beeps shows a light or rings to tell you that someone is calling. If you then pick up the telephone you get to talk to person who is calling you. Scientists say that 10 percent of the times you get called by people they typed in a crank call (calling someone and hanging up without saying anything) or the person put in the wrong number. And the other 90 percent of the times people call other people, they put in the correct number. This has shown by asking people how many times the people get crank calls or wrong numbers.
Antonio Meucci, was the one that was as smart as no one could be. Meucci was born in Florence, Italy, April 13, 1808. Meucci's job was to be a mechenical engineer (invent things). An very important invention Meucci made was the telephone, he invented the telephone in the year 1834.
The first telephones were used on ships and they still are. Meucci had invented at least two kinds of telephones: the acoustic telephone and the electromagnetic telephone. The acoustic telephone was the old and awkward telephone. The electromagnetic telephone is the new electric one. The electromagnetic telephone is the one we use nowadays.
