subject: Telephones - A Great Invention by:Dennis Jaylon [print this page] The telephone, or the germ of the idea, goes back to the string telephone every child has played with, in which a tightly held string is stretched between two diaphragms. The scientist Robert Hooke in 1667 first demonstrated that the voice could be carried easily over considerable distances in this way.
The telephone is inexpensive, simple to operate, and offers its users an immediate, personal type of communication that cannot be obtained through any other medium.
