Can anyone help me do a short paragraph on telephones?!?!?

Ok, I am doing an assigment about the invention of the telephone.
Like Who, What, When, Where, & Whys about it.
I started off with this...
In 1976, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone....
What Else, help meee!?!?
Eihk sorry im kindof procrastinating here.

SooooOOoo whoever makes me a nice god detailes paragraph gets a thumbs up, best answer, a hug & a smile :D

The telephone was actually invented in the 1870's by two competetors, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray. The two then both attempted to get the device patented with Bell getting the patent first. When he first invented the telephone, he called it the "harmonic telegraph" and realized that on June 2, 1875 he actually heard noise which was a clock dinging.

somthing like...
In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both independently designed devices that could transmit speech electrically (the telephone). Both men rushed their respective designs to the patent office within hours of each other, Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone first. Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell entered into a famous legal battle over the invention of the telephone, which Bell won.

The telegraph and telephone are both wire-based electrical systems, and Alexander Graham Bell's success with the telephone came as a direct result of his attempts to improve the telegraph.

When Bell began experimenting with electrical signals, the telegraph had been an established means of communication for some 30 years. Although a highly successful system, the telegraph, with its dot-and-dash Morse code, was basically limited to receiving and sending one message at a time. Bell's extensive knowledge of the nature of sound and his understanding of music enabled him to conjecture the possibility of transmitting multiple messages over the same wire at the same time. Although the idea of a multiple telegraph had been in existence for some time, Bell offered his own musical or harmonic approach as a possible practical solution. His "harmonic telegraph" was based on the principle that several notes could be sent simultaneously along the same wire if the notes or signals differed in pitch.

By October 1874, Bell's research had progressed to the extent that he could inform his future father-in-law, Boston attorney Gardiner Greene Hubbard, about the possibility of a multiple telegraph. Hubbard, who resented the absolute control then exerted by the Western Union Telegraph Company, instantly saw the potential for breaking such a monopoly and gave Bell the financial backing he needed. Bell proceeded with his work on the multiple telegraph, but he did not tell Hubbard that he and Thomas Watson, a young electrician whose services he had enlisted, were also exploring an idea that had occurred to him that summer - that of developing a device that would transmit speech electrically.

just take some bits out of that, or just use the whole thing lol. I did that same project once. =P
