The Invention of the Telephone

In this essay I will explore the invention of the telephone and explain why I believe it is one of the best inventions ever created.
            The telephone helps people connect to each other as well as make it easy to call someone for company, information or even for help.
            The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in the United States of America during the late 19th century.
            The telephone is one of the best inventions because it can help people communicate with one another over short and long distances and has had a huge influence on our global community.
            In conclusion, I believe the telephone is one of the best inventions ever created because without it we would not be able to communicate so easily and freely with each other. It was also the root of the cellular phone and now the iPhones and Blackberries that we carry around in our pockets today. It is an incredible machine that has had an immeasurable impact on our business as well as social lives.
