Talk Phone Technology And Advancement In Design

By Ann Schmidt


While smartphones have only existed in the last several years, cellular, satellite, walkie talkies and other models have existed for decades. As such, while the design, applications and operating systems of smart phones is new, talk phone technology has existed since the discovery of the first working telephone in 1876.

Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish scientist. The first to be credited with patenting a working model. Mr. Bell's brother, father and grandfather assisted in the development when it came to speech and elocution. Then, after much research and experimentation, Alexander's design was awarded the first U. S. Patent for a working model in 1876.

The ideology behind the research was inspired by Alexander's deaf wife. Initially, the research was related to hearing devices rather than a communications device. As such, Mr. Bell considered the most famous discovery and design of a lifetime an intrusion into more scientific aspirations. Sadly, the scientist then refused to include this new design into ongoing research and development.

Later, the scientist invented several other aspects when it comes to communications. For example, Mr. Bell spent more time working on optical communication, aeronautic and hydrofoil systems later in life. In addition, while Alexander has never been considered one of the founds of the National Geographic Society, the scientist served as the second president of the publication, thus having a strong influence on the magazine.

After becoming quite impressed with the boys interest in a "mechanical man, " with a simulated human voice at an exhibit, the father decided to pay all expenses associated with building a replica. After the father promised a surprise gift if the boys completed the project, interest grew even more. Then, after much research and development, the project reached completion.

While the project was a success, it was the father who paid for all the parts and processes involved. In addition, excited to see the boys so interested in scientific research and developed, a major prize was offered if the project became successful. While there is no record of what the prize might have been, it is clearly evident that the boys deserved more than just a prize for having creating this working model of the original "mechanical man."

Meet Trouve, the Bell family dog. Trouve assisted in the research and development of the telephone. For, if Alexander had not used Trouve in experimentation and research, sound transmission and other processes might have never been developed. As such, without help from the family dog, Mr. Bell might have never been granted a U. S. Patent for the first working model of a two way communications device.

While the concept of talking dogs is nothing new with the many clips now on video sites like YouTube, Alexander's talking dog was not only the first dog to talk but most likely also the first to be included in this type research. A research project which help develop a system which could transmit sound waves. In addition, the process assisted in the discovery of using tuning forks to explore overall resonance and volume. After which, the scientist, with a little help from a loving father, brother, grandfather and the family dog completed work on the first telephone as a two-way communications device.
