Telephones have covered a long journey from connecting lines through exchanges to reaching homes and now your pockets. However, Alexander Graham Bell, troubled by his mother's hearing loss, had to put up with more papads for his patent than he did in inventing the telephone on June 2, 1875. Graham Bell obtained the patent for the telephone on March 7, 1876. Earlier, when Bell announced the invention of the telephone, about 600 people made claims. Some people have reached the Supreme Court of America. However, the victory went to Bell. Today, when we connect a call on the telephone or mobile, the first thing we say is hello. It is said that Graham Bell said hello on the phone due to his girlfriend Margaret Hello and it became a trend.
Mother had trouble hearing, made telephone: Graham Bell had graduated at the age of just 13. After this, at the age of 16, he became famous as a great music teacher. Graham Bell's mother had trouble hearing. Graham Bell used to be very sad and disappointed with this problem of his mother. This was the reason why he wanted to make a special device to help the hearing impaired with the help of acoustics. Not only did he succeed in making such a device, which proved to be a boon for deaf people, but in this effort, he also invented the telephone. His wife also had a lot of trouble hearing. After the telephone, Graham Bell made the photophone in 1880. This technique found the voice from one place to another through the rays of light. Although people did not show much interest in the photophone, today's optical fibre cable works on the principles of Graham Bell.
Graham Bell never said 'hello' on the phone: As soon as the conversation started on the telephone, a story started about the practice of saying hello. Even today it is told that the name of Bell's girlfriend was Margaret Halo. That's why Bell started saying hello every time before he started talking on the phone. However, this story seems to be false as no evidence of this has come to the fore so far. Second, Bell had married his girlfriend and his wife's name was Mabel Gardiner Hubbard. While there, he married Mabel in 1877. After marriage, he changed his name to Mabel Hubbard Bell. Documents from the American Telegraph and Telephone Company show that Graham Bell never used Halo. He first told his assistant on the phone, 'Come here. I want to see you.' It is said that Bell used to use Ahoy while talking on the telephone.
By mistake 'Hello' was said Thomas Edison: The question always arises as to who started using it if Bell didn't start the practice of Halo. In fact, before starting the conversation on the telephone, sentences like 'Are you there or are you ready to talk' were spoken. According to the documents of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, American scientist Thomas Edison did not like such a long sentence at all. When he called for the first time, he accidentally used hello instead of 'Hullo'. This word came into play. In 1877, he wrote a letter to TBA Smith, president of Pittsburgh's 'Central District and Printing Telegraph Company', saying that hello should be the first thing to be said on the telephone. The word hello has been fully adopted in 1880. AT&T President Frederick Perry Fish credited Edison with the practice of saying hello on the phone in 1907.
