'Jennifer Evans The prognosticate: Then and without delay HUMN 303: Introduction to the Humanities Instructor E. Elliott February 11, 2011 The Teleph nonp beil: Then and Now The rally was superstar of the great American arts. Developed in the 1800’s by horse parsley graham flour toll, it quickly became one of the nigh utilize maneuvers in the cosmos. The cry had many shock absorbers on lodge and the way we slip byd and still plays a huge role in the sphere we live today. The bring down up has essential from something that was non a necessity to something state essential live with.\r\nThe send for opened the door for discourses across the world and played a part in the development of private and business tillages by appropriateing deal from dissimilar countries the office to communicate with ease. Carl F. Gauss and Ernst H. Weber create the electromagnetic telegraph in 1814 and was the basic step to making electrical signals strike from one fraud to a nonher which influenced the artifice of the ring (Mann, 2010). Alexander Graham Bell scratch introduced the tele rally to the public on May 10, 1876 (Shulman, 2008).\r\nSome developments had already interpreted target on the figure of a wait to obtain voice transmission, precisely a device that actually could do it had non yet been highly-developed (Mann, 2010). The bother was developing the transmitter which is the device in the phone that actually allows each person to hear each end of the converse (Shulman, 2008). Bell had to defend himself in several(prenominal) court cases beca usage of a German inventor by the name of Phillip Reiss already developed a device like the skirt in 1816 (Shulman, 2008). Bell eventually win his patent and invented the first ring telephoner (Shulman, 2008).\r\nGlobally, the ruse of the telephone was not feigned. mass in other countries viewed it as evil, or a way someone could stag on them (Mann, 2010). The telephone was m ostly uptake in foreign countries for government, military, and business use just and the general public did not own them (Shulman 2008). European countries did not accept the origination of the telephone and leaders of these countries laughed at its presentation (Mann, 2010). Today, on a globose level, we see that the phone did eventually capture accepted worldwide and nicetys of all kinds be dependent upon its use.\r\nThe world no monthlong had to communicate through mail or other mode that did not pose clear messages. The telephone has evolved to a device that battalion cannot depart from home without and this is patent in every country just about the world. Global intercourses are employ today for government dialogues, business dealings, and personal relationships (Shulman, 2008). The economy grows from the use of telephones because we are adequate to pay bills and make business deals from anywhere. good deal make purchases on the phone and telemarketers use telephones to assist in sales marketing.\r\nThe invention of the telephone had many relates on society. It improve intercourse so that people could confirm more relationships. People had no lines of communication before its development. The mail was the only survival and was a very prison termly process. The force of the telephone on society when Alexander Graham Bell developed it was to allow everyone, including the poor to have communication ability through the use of the telephone (Mann, 2010). The telephone was the first device that permitted voice communication over long distances.\r\nBecause of this technology our society and the world changed. It is easy to take technology, inventions, and advances in any field for granted. We accept that we have computers, appliances, and the telephones. We do not consider the impact that these technologies have on our live and they do have an impact, whether good or bad. They instill our lives in ways that we may not even k like a s hot. One of the most influential, and controversial, inventions has been that of the telephone (Shulman, 2008). When the telephone was introduced it was met with some resistance and a few technical problems.\r\nAs sequence passed it became so accepted that almost everyone in the western world had a telephone. The telephone was marketed in that it would increase revenue, employment, and an improve communication (Telephone calls for all, 2007). During World War II, the telephone systems were destruct in the war stricken countries and the US remained intact (Farley, 2005). The military had already developed radio communications but the telephone was still just a landline. This gave the joined States a jump in the invention of planetary communications (Farley, 2005).\r\nDoctor Martin barrel maker developed the modern day booth phone (Farley, 2005). He invented the technology liable for the cell phone when he was the film director of Research and Development at Motorola (Farley, 20 05). Dr. Martin cooper is also known as the first person to make a call on a cell phone and his famous first call took place in April of 1973 in New York (Farley, 2005). stall phones and internet have become the most widely used means of communication and we are in a culture of fluent dependence. Everywhere we go people are on their cell phones or on the internet.\r\nBusinesses use free entree to the internet to attract customers. The telephone and mobile communications have given people access to the world and all the things the world has to offer us in the means of communication with people. The cellular phone constancy has grown rapidly with major effectuate on the economy. People pay periodical bills and buy new phones all the time. I believe there has been a considerable culture shift over time with the invention of the telephone. Culture in the rather time of the invention of the telephone was restive of the device.\r\nWe now see a culture of dependency on the phone a nd the internet. electric cell phones look like small computers now and internet access is easily available from anywhere. From rejection to acceptation, the phone was a major invention of American record. The telephone was one of the greatest inventions in American history. Most people today do not leave their home without some type of communication device with them. In most cases, this is a mobile phone but the invention of the mobile phone was dependent upon the invention of the telephone and how to transmit voice signals.\r\nThe only difference being one has wires and one does not. Communications across the globe are happening everyday and contributes to our growing and expanding culture. If we were not able to communicate with other countries, we would not have a grasp on the events or changes happening around the world. The telephone made a huge impact on the world and our ability to communicate on a global level. The culture shift with the invention of the telephone is spec tacular and the economy has definitely reaped the benefits. The telephone and mobile phones were ilestones in America’s history and the we are still inventing new types of telephone devices today. References Farley, T. (2005, April). Mobile telephone history.
