Describe what the telephone invention is?

* Heinz Ketchup was invented the same year Alexander Graham Bell made his first phone call. * Alexander Graham Bell thought the phone should be answered with "Hoy, Hoy" instead of "Hello". * By 1910, New York Telephone had 6,000 women telephone operators. * Mark Twain was one of the first to have a phone in his home. * There was no technology for timing calls in the early days of telephones, so the phone company used to charge a flat monthly rate for service. * In 1910 the train fare from New York to Philadelphia was $4.50. A phone call between the same two cities was 80 cents. * As a tribute to Alexander Graham Bell when he died in 1922, all the telephones stopped ringing for one full minute. * From one telephone in 1876, the count grew to 11,000,000 (million) telephones nationwide by 1915. * In 1956 the first transatlantic telephone cable was placed on the ocean floor and rests as deep as 12,000 feet! It runs from Newfoundland, Canada to Scotland! * There are 149,084,370 telephone lines in the world and thousands more are being added every day.
