Who invented the telephone?

The telephone was invented by an American expert named Antonio Miki. At first, there was controversy about the identification of the inventor of the telephone, but after several years of debate, the US Congress finally confirmed that antonio meucci was indeed the first person to invent the telephone in the world. Therefore, he is also known as the father of the telephone. But the patent right of telephone doesn't belong to antonio meucci. The patent right of the first telephone belongs to another American scientist named Bell.

First, Antonio showed his mobile phone for the first time.

Antonio began to study the telephone around 1840. Finally, nine years later, Antonio successfully connected two different rooms through wires and arranged for another friend to communicate with himself in the other room. Through this wire, Antonio can clearly hear what his friend is saying. This device, also called talking telegraph by Antonio, was actually the later telephone.

After the research gradually matured, 1860, Antonio couldn't wait to announce this talking telegraph device to the whole world, and also bought a newspaper edition to announce the emergence of the telephone to people at home and around the world. But this has not attracted much attention, especially the mainstream people in society do not recognize Antonio's research. What's more, Antonio was down and out because he couldn't afford the patent fee, and he didn't even get the patent right of the telephone.

Second, Bell got a patent for the telephone.

While Antonio was studying the telephone, another scientist, Bell, also started related research. Bell first used electromagnetic phenomena as a signal to convey the words expressed by different people on the phone, and Bell also successfully developed it. Compared with Antonio's research, Bell's beginning is more scientific, and the research process is more functional and theoretical, because he uses electromagnetic phenomena as a medium to spread different discourses.

After Bell successfully developed the telephone, he was also granted the patent right of the telephone by the American government, so many people think that the real father of the telephone should be Bell. No matter who is the father of the telephone, it is undeniable that both of them independently developed the telephone and brought earth-shaking changes to future generations. Both of them made great contributions, and it was because of the telephone that later generations invented the mobile phone.
