Example: The Telephone

The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. It allowed people to communicate over long distances by sending voice signals through wires. The invention works by converting sound (your voice) into electrical signals that travel through a wire and are then converted back into sound on the other end.

Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Scotland and later moved to the United States. He was an inventor and scientist who worked on communication devices.

The telephone had a huge impact on society, as it revolutionized the way people communicated, making it faster and easier to stay in touch over long distances. Today, telephones are much more advanced, using digital signals and wireless technology, but the basic idea of voice communication remains the same.
