Humans are superb innovators that have used technology to refine all aspects of life, but the thing that truly defines humans is our ability to communicate with each other. It seems that no other species is as social as humans, so it comes as no surprise that some of our most impactful inventions have helped us refine our communications. We can see this in full detail through this timeline created by the team at Ooma.
As we follow the timeline, we come across key inventions that changed our society. Can you imagine life without the telephone? It was first patented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell, but history shows us he is not the true inventor of the phone. The real creator was an Italian American named Antonio Meucci who developed the concept of a “talking telegraph.” He could not afford to renew his patent and so credit fell to Bell who patented his own design four years later. This isn’t the only revelation the timeline offers us, so make sure to explore it in detail!
