The telephone was invented in 1875-1876 by Alexander Graham
Bell.
BONUS: (Listed alphabetically by FIRST name.)
A: FROM MENTEE ALEXIS K. IN VA
The telephone over internet...it is a faulty opposition. The
internet, like many invention/design factors created "prior"
to the
telephone, is a part of the "flowchart" of technological
communication.
To me the question is not which is better, but
what will this lead to next?
A: FROM MENTEE ALISSA F. IN INDIANA
I believe that the telephone was a better invention than the
Internet,
because in 1876, the only way of communication was by sending
a letter or
telegram to someone, but with the telephone, comunication
was easier and
faster. The Internet just added on to the many ways of communicating
with
eachother.
I also think that the Internet was an important invention
because alot
of information in one place makes it so much easier to retrieve
that
information.
But, along with the luxuries, comes the negative side. The
Internet
has intorduced a whole new world to those around us, even
in our
neighborhoods, whos main purpose is to find people and treat
them unfairly.
The Internet gives these people the opprtunity to be in an
unsafe environment
to meet anyone and everyone they need and want to.
In conclusion, I think that when Alexander Graham Bell invented
the
telephone in 1876, the whole world was influenced by it in
a good way.
A: FROM MENTEE BAO CHAU N. IN CA
I think that the telephone is more significant than the internet,
because the telephone gives instant communication!
A: FROM MENTEE CHI H. IN MO
I think the telephone is more
significant because it is much faster and more clearer to
talk to one another.
A: FROM MENTEE ERIKA G. IN CA
I think that both of them are very significant inventions
because both are very helpful to us everyday to communicate
with others.
A: FROM MENTEE GRACE N. IN KY
I think that they invention of the telephone is more signficant
than internet because without the telephone, you would have
no internet.
A: FROM MENTEE IVY H. IN WA
The telephone is a more significant invention because it links
people all around the word immediately, and can't be replaced,
while the internet can be substituted by finding information
in books. To substitute the telephone, you would have to write
letters or actually go and see the person to talk.
A: FROM MENTEE JENNY N. IN AR
I feel that both the telephone and the internet have there
place in life. The telephone is an excellent invention for
talking to people. By talking on the phone you can hear a
persons voice and know who you are talking to. The phone also
gives a person acces to get in touch with someone when the
can't be near a computer or other way to log on to the internet.
The internet, however, allows a person to access all types
of things. A person can send some else a message, chat, look
up information on things ( like when a telephone was invented
), play games with someone who is in another country, etc.
I don't know if I can pick which one was a better invention.
I feel that both are equal for the times they were invented
and that both have there respected place in our lives.
A: FROM MENTEE KATHRYN T. IN VA
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. Although
he had many other inventions to his credit this was quite
significant. It is the invention that really helped to shrink
the world, since communication could take place in the 20th
century all over the world. The internet is wonderful, but
the telephone is more significant in that it was allowing
worldwide communication long before the internet was even
thought about.
A: FROM MENTEE KELLY B. IN PA
I feel that each invention was very significant to the time
that it was invented. I must say that without the telephone,
there would not be probably would not be an internet because
my internet connects using my telephone line. So for this
reason I would have to say that the telephone was a more significanbt
invention.
A: FROM MENTEE LISA R. IN PA
I think the phone is more important because you can communicate
faster. It is
much easier to communicate with others using a phone.
A: FROM MENTEE MAGGIE K. IN CT
I think that the telephone is a more significant invention
than the internet because there are more people in the world
that have access to a phone than people who have access to
the internet. The telephone may be simple but it's lines connect
people all over the world at a touch of a few buttons. Though
you can get on to the internet with the touch of buttons you
can be connected to more people over the phone then over the
internet.
A: FROM MENTEE RETRINDA A. IN IL
The telephone and Internet are both great inventions, but
I have to say that
the Internet is a more significant invention because you can
can get from the
Internet what you can from a telephone & more.
A: FROM MENTEE RUTH O. IN NH
I think that both the telephone and the internet are significant
because
before the internet the telephone was the only way that people
could pass
messages. And now the internet is very helpful because we
get news and most
anything that we want to find on the internet and we can send
messages
through the internet. The reason i say that they are both
important is that,
normally if one wants to communicate to a friend although
it can be done on
the internet the friend might not be on the internet and through
the phone
you can be able to find somebody because now we have cell
phones too which
are playing a major role in our society today. So i think
they are both
significant.
