Invention of the Telephone
The invention of the telephone came about 1870's when two men Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both worked independently to transfer speech through electricity. Both men rushed to the patent office within hours of each other, but Bell had arrived there before Gray. Those two men had entered a famous legal battle over this. The Court ruled in the favor of Graham Bell.

At the time of Bell's invention, the telegraph was the main source of communication for some 30 years. It's communication was made possible by the Morse Code. The telephone made communicating easier and more efficient. The success of Bell's invention contributed to his knowledge of the nature of sound led him not only to teach the deaf, but also to invent the telephone.
