About the telephone
Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish born scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone. He also founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885.
The form of communication first came through by Johann Philipp Reis in 1863. His machine consisted of a vibrating membrane that opened or closed an electric circuit. Reis only used his machine to demonstrate the nature of sound, while Alexander Graham Bell wanted to make a way to communicate with people.
Alexander Graham Bell found the telephone in 1876.
The invention of the phone proved to revolutionize the way people communicate throughout the world. Like Marco Polo helped revolutonize the world of things such as paper money, coal and more.
This invention helped revutolonize the communication throughout the world.
Bell was interested in telephony was derived from his background in vocal physiology and his speech instruction to the deaf.
Long distance service was first available in 1881. However the transmission rates were really bad. It was very difficult to hear.

Can cause certain types of cancer/health problems
According to the British Chiropractic Association, our obsession with smartphones has led to a rise in the number of young people with back problems, as the amount of time spent leaning over small phone screens can put spinal discs under pressure. Thanks to our technological lifestyle, 45% of 16 to 24-year-olds suffer from back pain.
A University of Washington study found that texting pedestrians were four times more likely to ignore the lights or forget to look for traffic before crossing.
Anxiety
Young people, who spend 11 hours looking at their screens every day, expect constant updates from their friends, and a lull in messages can lead to anxiety.
Depression
Lynn Evans blames smartphones for this increase, saying that it allows teenagers to carry a world of cyber bullying with them wherever they go.
Sleep
More than 60 per cent of 18- to 29-year-old smartphone users take their phones to bed, but studies have found that just two hours exposure to brightly lit screens can supress melatonin and lead to sleeping troubles.

Marco Polo is known for his accomplishments as a world traveler and pioneer. He expanded trade routes in Asia, including the Silk Road. Marco Polo was not the first European to reach China, but he was the first to leave a detailed chronicle of his experience.
If marco polo hadn't gone on his travels, the modern world mightve not had all these ivnetions, aslo maybe Christopher Colombus might have not been inspired to become an explorer and discover america.
Marco Polo’s stories about his travels in Asia were published as a book called The Description of the World, later known as The Travels of Marco Polo. Just a few years after returning to Venice from China, Marco commanded a ship in a war against the rival city of Genoa. He was eventually captured and sentenced to a Genoese prison, where he met a fellow prisoner and writer named Rustichello. As the two men became friends, Marco told Rustichello about his time in Asia, what he'd seen, where he'd traveled and what he'd accomplished.
In 1271, Marco Polo set out with his father and uncle, Niccolo and Maffeo Polo, for Asia, where they would remain until 1295. Unable to recruit the 100 priests that Kublai Khan had requested, they left with only two, who, after getting a taste of the hard journey ahead of them, soon turned back for home. The Polos' journey took place on land, and they were forced to cut through challenging and sometimes harsh territory. But through it all, Marco reveled in the adventure. His later memory for the places and cultures he witnessed was remarkable and exceptionally accurate.
Evolution of Phones
Iphones were first introduced in 2007 by Steve Jobs
In 1992 Rob Stothard and Getty People introduced the first smart phone
Hand- Held Mobile Phone was first was by a Motorola employee called Martin Cooper in 1973.
The book became an important source of knowledge on the geography, people, culture, government, religions, technology, plants, and animals of the vast area to the east. It provided a new view of the world and opened up new possibilities for trade and exploration. It served as a significant energy for merchants, explorers, rulers, and churchmen to seek greater understanding of central Asia and to form closer relationships with its inhabitants. Maps of Asia were based on his descriptions until the sixteenth century, and many of the ventures of the Age of Exploration of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, including the voyages of Christopher Columbus, were inspired by the "Travels." Marco Polo's book was not replaced as the most important source of information on central Asia until the nineteenth century and may, indeed, be the most influential travelogue ever written.
