|Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. He first worked for his father. He developed a system for teaching deaf people to speak. This system, called |

|Visible Speech, used symbols which showed the position of the throat, tongue, and lips in making sounds. From this early experience, Bell became interested in the |

|telegraph. |

|On March 10th 1876, during one experiment with his assistant Thomas Watson in separate rooms, Bell spilled some acid on his clothes by accident and said, “Mr. |

|Watson, Come here, I want you.” Watson heard the message through the phone spring and came immediately. These were the first sentences ever transmitted over the |

|telephone. |

|Today, people almost everywhere can speak to each other by telephone. There are even car phones, plane phones and mobile phones which transmit sounds through |

|airwaves rather than telephone lines. The telephone has truly become an important part of everyday life for people all over the world. |
