Telephones are home and office devices designed for
making two-way voice communication simultaneously. They are essential tools
that bring people closer together. They typically feature a receiver with a
microphone at the bottom, where the talking is done, and a speaker at the top,
where one listens, and a base unit with a flash, a keypad membrane for dialing numbers, and other important buttons
such as redial and hold.
The Origin
of Telephone
Invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, the
first telephones functioned by transmitting and receiving sound waves of
electrical impulses through an electromagnetic coil and harmonic telegraph.
Over time, line and connection systems gradually improved according to the
technology available. Today, telephone systems make use of fiber optics to
allow not only communications, but more applications, as well, including
connecting to the Internet, phone banking, and customer service.
