  • In the 1870's electricity was cutting edge technology and the challenge was on to build on the success of the Telegraph and carry the human voice. Like many other budding young inventors Bell and his assistant Watson picked up the gauntlet and devised the Liquid Telephone.

    The real telephone inventor is Antonio Meucci but because he didn't have the money to obtain a patent they didn't sign the invention to his name, Alexander graham Bell's was rich and he stole the invention idea and registered it for himself.

      ​@Rosida Andriyana the fact that Meucci couldn't speak English well and relied heavily on translators made navigating the business prospects and patent claims a challenge to say the least. It also didn't help that his wife kept selling his inventions either though he continued to develop better ideas anyways. He spent nearly all his money due to research, his wife's medical issues and a few other reasons. He sent a model and technical details to the Western Union telegraph company but failed to win a meeting with executives. When he asked for his materials to be returned, in 1874, he was told they had been lost which was mentioned in the video. Two years later Bell, who shared a laboratory with Meucci, filed a patent for a telephone, became a celebrity and made a lucrative deal with Western Union. After one failed law suit due to lack of evidence Meucci died at aged 82 shortly after he started an appeal. They found a rudimentary structures in his home from when he set up a basic form of communications for his wife who could not move around very well. Graham Bell went in the history books as the inventor however 113 years later the US government released a letter stating Meucci did indeed invent the telephone rather than Graham Bell. Interesting history and sadly lots of it gets pushed to the way side when it comes to teaching history. If they had that in history while growing up I am sure I would have remembered it better.

      Similar to how a recording needle on vinyl cut vibrations into the record, which could be replicated with a receiving needle on a player. Vibrations on the electromagnetic diaphragm react similarly but electronically instead.

      If you learn enough history, inventions are almost always stolen, especially in the Victorian era. It’s just a normalised thing to do. Is it morally right? Maybe not, but that’s just how it is.

    nice you didn't mention Elisha Grey . bell bribed a patent agent to look at grey's design.. bell received the patent the old fashion american way in business : he stole it. bell spent the rest of his time defending " his " patent for the rest of his life. also the first phones use Earth-Ground as a return so it sounded like you were talking through a tube. Vail was credited with the idea of a central office. i forget who came up with the idea of using a pair of wires to connect but that was the basis of the modern phone line. i could go on but i'm bored now, i spent 36 years with PTT/PacTel/SBC/and ATT

    Nearly all inventions and even great theories are a matter of many minds and people doing work. But very often one person at the end of that process will end up getting the glory as they unify the work of many men. If you complain about this then complain about Einstein, the claim that the internet was invented by CERN, Maxwells equations, and everything else that has a persons name attached.
    Fact is history could have played out in so many different ways. Many different people could have their names attached to so many things. But all these guys got there by standing on the shoulders of so many other people

    I'm pretty sure it was the carbon granule microphone that was the mainstay of telephony for the next 100 years, rather than the moving armature microphone arrangement described in this video. Moving armature devices were more common in receivers.

    What information can we varrifiy first hand?
    If we accept what we hear, read, without varifing it for ourselves, we accept it on faith.
    It may be true, and it may not be. But the faith part of what we believe to be true, (or not true) makes the un varified knowledge a relgion.
    And that transcends all of life.
