Ive always thought that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Today I read the newspaper, and I guess that the US congress has passed a resolution declaring that american Antonio Meucci is the man who invented the telephone.
Now maybe this is canadian vs us, but really...Who invented the Telephone? |

Search a bit on the net and u ll see it was not graham bell... some other guy invented it but was without budget and then he died.. then bell came and started working at the same lab as the guy that invented the phone.. he made minor modiphications and patented it..
uh well my story isn't acurate, but it wasn't bell..

| who really knows? most inventions are built my many people off of prior ideas and technologies? No one really invents the wheel. For example who invented the internet, computer, car,... In the example of the car probably Henry Ford would get credit because he lead the industry and excelled at mass production. History is sort of a popularity contest and usually remembers the most flamboyant instead of the true inventor. |

Antonio Meucci didn't make it to the patent office before Alexander, therefore Alexander invented it.
Alexander had a summer home in Canada. He 'invented' it up here, but the closest patent office was in the U.S. where the patent was actually done. |
