The first phone call

source

A day like today, a tall, thin man with a clear complexion and black hair, serious and concentrated style was marking the story.

This character had been investigating everything related to oral expression and acoustics for several years and wanted to invent an apparatus to solve the communication problems of the deaf and dumb.

In the end his curiosity followed a zigzag path and ended up creating a team that would help us all, and that would serve to shorten the distances, not to lengthen the conversations. And he called it a telephone.

The most curious thing is that the first words spoken by telephone by Mr. Bell, his assistant called Watson were:

"Mr. Watson, please come here I need to say something to you "

Extraordinary. Simply extraordinary. Bell himself had invented the telephone just so we could talk from a distance, and the first thing he did was forget the purpose of his invention.

Because, why ask your assistant to come to talk to you, if you could tell him on the phone?

That's how we humans are. Sometimes we have the solution of our problems in our hands and it took us a while to realize it.

Anyway: the first time that we humans spoke by phone was a day like today: March 10, 1876. And we owe it to Alexander Graham Bell.
