Bell and the world's first telephone
After Bell obtained the patent of telephone invention, he joined Hubbard to promote the invention because he was unable to promote it. They found C, the manager of the telegraph company. Dipper, let him buy a patent for the telephone-it's very cheap. Dipper was not sure about the value of the invention, so he asked his technical experts. The technical expert said: "This is an absolutely unreasonable device. They want to install telephone equipment in every home and business office in this city. This is simply a stupid idea. Why does a man use such a clumsy and unrealistic device when he can send his messenger to the local telegraph office and send a clearly written message to any big city in the United States ... Hubbard's prediction sounds impressive, but it's just a guess. The phone is just a toy or a laboratory treasure. " In this way, Bell's phone was rejected.
Not only did Dipper's technical experts have no confidence in the future of the telephone, but British telegraph experts across the Atlantic also dismissed it. When the news of the invention of the telephone reached Britain, Sir willaim henley Palisse (179 1- 1867), a student of the famous physicist Faraday, an authority on the British telecommunications industry and chief engineer of the British General Post Office, said: We have enough small postmen in London to spread the emergency from here to foreign countries.
