The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.He made the first successful call on March 10, 1876.His famous first words were “Mr.Watson, come here.I want to see you.” Early telephones were very simple tools that worked with metal lines and connecting boards.Over time engineers improved the system and made long-distance calls possible.In the twentieth century, mobile phones began to appear.The first call on a handheld mobile phone was made by Martin Cooper in 1973.That early mobile phone was heavy, weighing about 1.1 kilograms.Today's smartphones are small, light and powerful.They can connect the internet, take photos, and run many apps.Mobile phones have changed the way people talk, learn and work around the world.
