The word “telephone” means hearing the sounds produced at a distance, just as we see distant objects through a “telescope” or we see things happening miles away through “television”. The telephone was invented more than one hundred years ago by Alexander Graham Bell. It is now very extensively used everywhere. In Vietnam, most of the people have their own telephones in their homes. It makes us possible to talk to our friends far away without all the way to their homes.
In actual working, it appears to be simple. It has a transmitter into which you speak and a receiver at which you hear; and these two are now combined in the same small instrument, one at each end. The two persons who want to speak have each an instrument. There is a connecting wire and an electric battery by the side of each, or there is a common connecting station. It is the electric current that enables the sound vibrations to be reproduced at the other end, and the person at the end hears the talk of his friend.
