If you were living in the 1870s, you would have been well acquainted with the telegraph.

When clicked, a simple key on one end of the wire, triggered clicks at the destination site.

An operator decoded these clicks to form a message.

This mode of communication, while very limited in the number of words that could be translated,

was nearly instantaneous and must have been a marvel at the time.

But some forward-thinking folks in that surging post-war decade had bigger plans.

They wanted to build a telephone, a device that could transmit not just single pulses,

but a person's voice over a wire.

And that's not a marvel.

That's a miracle. The man who figured it out, of course, was Alexander Graham Bell.

His telephone consisted of a cone with the wide end pointed upright.

The bottom of that cone was a membrane attached to a metal pin, and this pin was dipped in a small cup of acid connected to a battery.

As Bell spoke into the cone, the membrane vibrated, dipping the metal pin up and down in the acid.

The resulting variation in electrical current could then be sent along a wire and decoded at the other end, using a similar device.

With the telephone, Bell formed a cornerstone of the communications interface and decoded at the other end using a similar device.

With the telephone, Bell formed a cornerstone of the communications infrastructure that we have today.

Indeed, he was a proud American.
