In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both independently desiged devices that could transmit speech electrically ( The telophone). Sence they made it it has been transformed alot more. From picking up the little cylander atached to a cord and putting your ear up to the other hole. Now you just dile the number and click talk and there you have it your call and the person you wanted to call. The old teleophone we don't use any more but you can see them in antic stores. Alexander also invented the vibraphone. The vibraphone is similar to the xylophone, the marimba and the glockenspil. You play it with two people for a big vibraphone and 1 person for a small vibraphone. You use two sticks in each hand and hit the keys. Here is a vidio how to play the vibraphone.



I have two quotes. Both by Alexander Bell. One of his quotes were "When one door closes, another one opens;but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." " America is a country of inventers, and the greatest inventers are newspaper men." Those I think are good because the first one means that when you see a closed door, another opens but we are always are regretfull of are selfs so we don't go to the open one.
